He created an unwinnable war in Iraq and Afghanistan, which led to thousand of our own troops being killed and very seriously injured, and caused the most dangerous thing as political correctness which has caused millions of us not being able to speak what we think without being arrested

Good or bad, when Thatcher said something she meant it. Blair was all talk talk talk but how much of it was sincere?



Thatcher stood close with the American President during the cold war but she never let him walk all over her. Unlike Blair and George Bush Jnr.



Thatcher is often criticized for closing many grammar schools (before she was PM) but the fact that she encouraged comprehensive schools so much means that she had more realistic views about education. Blair wanted 50 per cent of students to go to university - totally unrealistic AND he introduced tuition fees!!



Thatcher didn't start an unnecessary war. When she sent British soldiers to the Falklands the war was already there and she was reacting. Blair sent us into an illegal war based on a LIE. Where were the weapons of mass destruction?



Magaret Thatcher wasn't perfect - name a Prime Minister who hasn't made a lot of people angry - but historians will be far more critical of Tony Blair. He was a liar and a moron.

Margaret Thatcher hated each and every thing with regard to the people of england. She by no ability understood us. She easily did no longer understand even her very own pal (the risky Celt) Geoffrey Howe, who stood up interior the homestead of Commons and swung the awl - for this reason commencing the coup interior the Tory party which bring about her downfall and the 'financial company supervisor' taking on. Tony Blair is a born lower back liar. He spent his entire political occupation right here in uk pretending to be between the people whilst in actuality he isn't. stable riddance. Of the two, i could say that Margaret Thatcher is the worst. And, in the event that they do provide her a State Funeral, and that i can't think of of a single explanation why she would desire to have one such, then I intend to bypass to the progression and turn my lower back on her ineffective corpse because it passes by. Others would throw ineffective flora in the event that they desire.

Thatcher said herself that one of her greatest achievements was new labour yet people don't seem to understand how alike the two leaders actually were.



I'm sure in her time she did some good things for some of the people and destroyed a lot for others,Blair was pretty much the same,he did some good things like introducing the minimum wage and putting a great deal into education but there was no excuse for Iraq.



I actually thought he was pretty good up to Iraq,i didn't agree with everything he did but he wasn't that bad and i expect many thought the same about Thatcher who actually advised Blair on which direction to go in when he came to power because had the tories not knifed her in the back it was the exact direction she would have gone in herself,they were pretty much pages from the same book.

thatcher didn't hide her politics, Blair did, he deceived everyone who was gullible enough to vote for him in the first place. The sneakiest, snakiest, deceptive worm ever.

Yes - because he tried to con us that he was likable - Thatcher just did not care what was thought of her. She did have true backbone. Blair was just a petty little sh*t next to her, trying to ape what she did. He never repealed ONE thing that she caused.

I would have said on par with.

Neither was worse or better.

Both used their time as PM for a personal & monetary gain.

Not really. They each did things that I found objectionable and other things I found acceptable. I suspect both probably did their best. When all said and done, WE put them there.



Which of them would I choose to chat with over coffee? Tony Blair.

Who would I want running the country in difficult times? Margaret Thatcher.

No, taking away our freedom of speech in some ways is no where near as bad as ripping peoples lives apart, making the poor even poorer, she ruined lives directly

Yes - thats it....TB was a political statesman title chaser....as its proved to be now.!!



These brainwashed union fanatical labour luvvies will (of course) never agree.



The cloth cap/pigeon fanciers brigade of the 70's/80s are on a never ending crusade against MT even in death....no matter the unrepairable damaged TB/GB have done too this country....supported totally by Miliband/E Balls who are 'now' trying so hard to 'distance themselves' from those 13yrs of lies and more lies/misinformation etc - and who these labour luvvies now see as the UK salvation messiahs....gimme strength.



TB was never a true labour politician - 'he' just aliened himself with the political party 'he thought' would advance his political *carpetbagger career....he coming from the north to the south....that being the *definition.

We now employ that most odious form of censorship called self censorship, it is totally wrong..
2013-04-11 10:28:50 UTC
Yes. But the left conveniently forget that and send hate towards a woman who made the tough decisions others would not.

Yes.



He sold out Britain.



He encouraged the unemployable to flock here from the third world in their millions. They all needed housing, schools, benefits, healthcare etc....all they had to do was vote for the hand that fed them.



His legacy can be seen in birmingham, London, derby, Bradford, Manchester, etc etc



His government ignored immigrant crime - it was racist to investigate it, racist to notice it, racist to complain about being forced out if your communities by racist immigrants.



He encouraged quotas that saw positive discrimination of minorities push better qualified white candidates aside.



His multicultural dream is a living nightmare for many.



He took the entitlement culture to a whole new level.....what better way to cling to voters than to make them dependent in the benefits he could give them?



Under Blair the country took a nosedive it will never recover from.
