Controversial BeliefsSome mugs still think the MMR injection gives children autism (it doesn't), while others are of the belief that we're ruled by billionaire lizard people. Tell us about views outside the mainstream which people go glassy eyed if you bang on about them (Your grandad's a racist - no need to tell us, thanks)

The best thing about Thatcher going is showing how people don't understand politics.I'm no Thatcher fan, but not because of a blind political bias, but because of information like this.
You can never be absolute about where someone went wrong, because it's far too complex a subject and isn't a definitive art anyway. However, it's depressing to listen to someone saying "Thatcher was great - she took us to the Falklands" without them having the slightest understanding of the events surroudning the situation.
Often a remark about Thatcher brings the " wasn't any better" which, to paraphrase my 14 year old son "Is like saying Hitler was better than Stalin, as he killed fewer people".
I mentioned this to a Thatcher fan, who said "well you shouldn't celebrate anyone's death. And she didn't kill anyone.". So the "Rejoice, Rejoice" remark after hering the death of over 300 crew of the Belgrano, was OK then, was it?? Suddenly they went silent, not having expected to think any further than what they felt.
