Taiwan, Thai T V Stations Sorry For Thatcher Photo Gaffes

I remember the days of Arthur Scargil. The UK needed a leader like Margaret Thatcher to deal with him. She was a wonderful woman!

Meryl Streep? Really? Not only is she not British but she's also an actress and not a politician!!!

I always find it humorous when the bad work of one producer's intern of a single news show,

suddenly becomes a national embarrassment for all political class and citizens of a nation,

who had absolutely sod all to do with the actual mistake.

Well at least they didn't run this :

Iron Lady Dies of Stroke

Opinions split on strong woman who divided a nation.

At least they didn't show this one. :)

I'd be happier if it was Tory Blur who went. He was Thatcher with a cock, but not the balls, and he did a lot more damage.

But all the brits loved, "Our Tony." Ever been had, all those who voted for him and now deny it.

Thatcher's ills were nothing compared to what he did, and I hated her.

This is funny.

All orientals look the same to europeans, I guess ditto europeans to orientals.

Maybe the taiwanese thought the queen was happy to see the end of Thatcher.......?

You can't really be serious.................can you?

It is true, probably a function of how the brain recognizes faces. Back in the 1980s I was living deep in rural Thailand for over a year with few encounters with my fellow Caucasians. I then dropped into a university graduate program back in the US and for the first few days all white people looked alike and it was awkward making eye contact. It was, so to speak, an eye opening experience. But as far as Ms. Maggie, good riddance!

I remember the days of Mrs Thatcher, the UK needed more of Scargil types, to resist her dictatorial attitude, Poll tax--N Ireland--Miners--Falklands--privateisation--trippled unemployment---

All leaders do some good whoever they are, When they get drunk with power they all have to go, here is an example.

Council estate kid with a miner father??

And as a Yank what qualifies you to make a statement about a British prime minister? (please feel free to draw on your country's 200 year old heritance (after we educated you!) to answer this. <deleted> attitude from a country that gave us 2 Bush's, Nixon, A cigar waving Clinton, Ford (should have stuck at the car) and that 'Where were you when JFK was killed?' That oh so famous Marilyn shagger, mafia involved philanderer who's family have been cursed forever.

Using a picture of one of the wicked witches from the wizard of Oz would have been far more apt.

Did you get your name from trysts with ladyboys???

He was referring to Ding Dong.......... Heading to number 1 in the UK.

A good lot of farang on the / in the twittersphere were rather upset that Cher was dead after seeing the following hashtag #nowthatcherisdead

:P

It strikes me as quite funny that a lot of the anti Maggie posters on here are the A typical 'too young to know, but my dad hated her types' that grew up on council estates got tattoos and now spend their gyros on coming to Thailand to sample the local women. OH and of course to visit their retired dad who sold his council house (that Maggie facilitated him to be able to buy,) to do exactly the same!!! Pattaya dwellers, I feel sorry for you!

Generalizing people as stereotypes says more about your intellect than anyone elses. Or should I say lack of intellect.

After claiming already to be the hub of hubs, we surprisingly discovered a new one: The hub of incompetence. They were probably only one click away to show the picture of Miss Piggy...

They're probably saving that for Yaowapa! smile.png

"A source at the channel said the job of finding the picture had been outsourced to another company"

Ever heard of Goggle ??thumbsup.gif

And ofcourse it was someone elses fault! Probably a foreign owned company! sad.png

Possibly that's why things got mixed up, "Goggle" is not the best research instrument.

This is funny.

My most humble apologies. I was unware that people were only allowed to have opinions on their own country's elected idiots and not allowed to have opinons on the elected idiots of other countries.

Did the Brits complain? If the BBC had done something similar concerning Thailand the outrage would be huge.

I think we all shudder at the thought of what the reaction would have been but she wasn't Thai.

Recently a small shop chain in China was ordered to change it's external colour scheme as the Thai Embassy complained the layout and colours resembled those of the Thai flag. Pettry or what ?

people i've talked to in UK just think its funny, but then again we didn't like her so maybe there are other views.

What's Goggle?

A search engine without the extra ooooooooooo :)

Quite right - the only difference is the width of our wallets ...
