Today Russell Brand wrote a piece in The Guardian about his views on Thatcher, and how he felt towards her.
He wasn't cruel, nor was he praising. He is obviously left wing, like so many in the Show Bizz industry,
Caitlin Moran tweeted, 'how children think of Thatcher'. What I think she means to say is, 'how children THOUGHT of Thatcher'.
Most of my school friends haven't got a clue who she is, in fact, most of my school friends haven't got a clue politicians are.
But people like Russell Brand, Caitlin Moran, Sally Lindsay, and others support anything against the right, seem to have forgotten what it was like before Thatcher came into No10.
Firstly it was a three day working week, as the Unions had the country on their knees striking every two seconds. Oh yes I'm sure that helped the country's debts a lot, I can see why she is such a bad person for bringing back stability.
Secondly, we were in extreme debt! The left decided, as usual, to spend, spend, spend our hard earning money for what? Nothing.
Owen Jones hasn't come up with one reason why Jim Callaghan would have been better to stay in the Cabinet instead of Thatcher, in fact nor has Russell Brand in his piece.
In fact, I can't see a reason why people today would vote for Labour. Firstly Ed Miliband is a shambles of a leader, and so is Cameron, and so is Clegg.
As I've made earlier points, it's embarrassing watching them sometimes.
Labour spent money we didn't have, and Cameron and his bodies aren't doing a great deal to undo that. Labour also start wars on false pretenses, sell gold for it's lowest value ever (bet Gordon was really pleased with himself when he did that), and for the fact that they had Peter Mandelson.
I understand why miners don't like Thatcher, in fact they have every right not to like, and to celebrate her death in the way that they feel fit.
She took away their lively hood, although lets be honest we are all glad she did, it was a very green thing to do for the planet.
She hit them hard and fast, however, by going on strike, and proving to the nation that we can keep going without them they almost dug their own miners graves.
Something the left don't like to admit, sometimes when you strike you make your own argument invalid.
All I have to say on Thatcher is, I thought she did the country better than any Labour party has done. The left have only ever had one thing to look back on and that's 'The Spirit of '45!" Makes me feel quite sad for them really.
