Well she took milk from some other kids, about 30 years ago, on the other side of the planet.
The faux outrage is just a bit embarrassing for all concerned I think.
she did a lot more than that.
She also brought England out of the Stone Age.....

Both good and bad it seems.
Just depends on which side of the fence y'all on.
Still, the hippies didnt make such a fuss over Bin laden or Saddam.
You'd swear they only did it for the cameras...............
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong. I know that there's a lot of people who have every right to be angry at Thatcher and her policies.
a bunch of middle class Uni students on the other side of the world.............not so much.
Meh, you could make the same argument about any international happenings:
"Why should a bunch of old, white Australian politicians have cared about 9/11? Didn't affect them etc. etc."
A bit narrow-minded to say people can't have opinions on things that don't directly impact their own lives.
also a bit presumptuous to assume that thatchers policies didn't directly impact them.
maybe they had an uncle that got killed in the falklands/worked in the mines etc etc
and given it was young lefties cheering/protesting maybe they were applying what is the central tenet of unionism: you attack one, you attack all.
Nah, don't buy it.
If anything the 9/11 consequences (Saddam toppled, Bin Laden blowed up) would have been equally 'celebrated'.
People can have opinions, but to dance in the streets etc seems a bit staged.
She just seemed like an easy target tis all I'm sayin'.
But as someone pointed out the other day maybe that's just the world we live in now, where everyone can be an utter **** and not care.
Have no doubt scenes will be repeated in later years on the demise of the likes if Bush, Howard and Gillard.
"Why can't we all just get along?"
Geez these kids seem to be well connected then.
Best mates with Assange, victims of Thatcher, victims of da corporations.
Lot of tragedy in their lives.
I feel for them.
visiting Australian runners describing how they heard bombs going off in Boston.

the mentality of 18-21 year olds tomorrow, they only see it as a day to "get ****ed up" ffs, sure im all for having a few drinks, but at least have some pride in the day, buy one of the diggers a drink and listen to a few of his war'ies instead of disgracing yourself.
