When Galahad tells Eggsy that one of headline refers to when he prevented the assassination of PM Thatcher. Eggsy responds something to the effect that some people would not thank him for his efforts. Did I hear right? A bit harsh in my opinion and really in poor taste whether you agreed with her policies or not .
shareYou realize that when she died, many openly refused to mourn her (most football matches refused to honor her passing with a moment of silence).
You may think it's callous, but she was very callous and divisive. You are treated and regarded in history by your actions. And the only thing Thatcher proved was that a woman could rule with an iron fist.
"And the only thing Thatcher proved was that a woman could rule with an iron fist."
Except that was known long before she got anywhere near power. Especially, if one looks beyond European history.
She was awful.

He was meaning that few people knew about it, not about the limp-wristed left-wingers who couldn't handle what she did.
shareThe problem with socialism is sooner or later you run out other people's money.
Why don't people ever learn something so obvious?
I was born in the house my father built
And yet right wing Tory boy Osborne has doubled the national debt in 5 years - now who's money do you reckon he's playing around with? I know it's tricky and you're a little hard of thunking but go on you can do it - I've got faith in you!

running out of money seems to be a problem with capitalism as well. or communism. or any country led by a greedy, corporate owned government.
sharePeople who keep using that quote to shove it down other peoples' throats, are full of ****.

Whereas in capitalism, the banks run out of your money instead.

Not harsh enough, she wrecked our country and turned us all on each other.

Oh lord. Another one. I believe all he was trying to imply is that Thatcher was the subject of strong feelings one way or the other. Again, after seeing the entire movie, this is what you come away with? (LOL -- apologies for mixing up the present and past tenses).

Interesting, assassination as "cheeky" ?

Obviously not, I'm just a bit confused however a joke about assassinating somewhat could be "cheeky", or for that matter, how an failed assassination would garner such dismay. Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I don't see the humor, especially in this day and age. Granted it was a throw-away line in the film, but it grabbed my attention because it implied that Thachter's death would somehow be celebrated. Frankly, politics aside, I find that to be pretty coarse and worrisome. Sorry but glorifying someone's death simply is not part of my vocabulary.

Wait are you saying that Thatcher was not an actual person ? If that were case I might begrudgingly see your point. But in a world where words matter, idiots flourish and guns are as accessible as nickel candy, I prefer to keep " that stick up my ass ". Despite having few allusions about mankind and its fault, I rarely celebrate someone's demise, unless they reach the stature of say, "Jihadi John". But for the PM of the UK to merely have opposing political views well that doesn't meet my criteria for assassination. She was afterall duly elected official and not a dictator.

If it necessitates all this gibberish to support your argument, it's evident I'm dealing with a unstructured mind. It appears while I might have a stick up my ass, it is evident that you have your brain up yours.
shareYou're funny, dude. When I write pithy, it opens the door for you to ask questions with your disingenuous paraphrasing. When I write lengthy so even an idiot can understand every syllable, it overwhelms you into thinking it's unstructured.
Classic.
Anyway, good luck censoring every utterance of movie dialogue which scares you into believing the worst case scenario will happen in real life.

You are right, most people's deaths shouldn't be celebrated.
One interesting thing about this is when you look at who is celebrating the person's death. Thatcher was a Conservative. Liberals - you know, the ones who are open, accepting, progressive, etc - are the ones who celebrate.
The celebrated when Reagan was shot and the celebrated when he died.
Conservatives didn't celebrate when Ted Kennedy died. And liberals didn't celebrate when a racist and a member of the KKK died - Sen. Byrd. Of course, Byrd was a fellow liberal....
Lots of conservatives celebrated when Ted Kennedy died. Go to youtube and look up videos of his funeral and you'll see many hateful and vile comments by conservatives.
