help me launch a campaign to get saltersford water treatment plant renamed after margaret thatcher

[Pickman's model]

saltersford water treatment plant near grantham recently

this water treatment plant desperately needs a new name, and what better memorial to baroness thatcher could there be than to rename somewhere which handles a load of shit in her memory?

 

[stuff_it]

Why does it need a new name, apart from for the lulz?

Baroness Thatcher Water Treatment Plant sounds like a good name.

it needs a new name which everyone around the world would associate with shit.

 

[frogwoman]

Perhaps there could be some pioneering innovation in water treatment which the Iron Lady herself would be proud of.

But people already associate the potential new name with shit.

exactly. whereas if i had said to you fifteen minutes ago 'saltersford' you wouldn't have had a ready association in your mind.

perhaps there could.

Just as she invented way of diluting ice cream with air ...

Could we not also rename it the "Baroness Thatcher Sewage Works", rather than the limp-wristedly euphemistic "water treatment works"?

Perhaps the Baroness Thatcher brand could be applied to the whole range of sanitaryware - I for one would find my daily bowel movements would be much enhanced if I were to be "taking a Thatch" on my Patent Porcelain "The Baroness" Sanitary Bowl, perhaps with a likeness of Her Lateship nicely provided at the bottom.

Armitage Shanks should be consulted for a possible rebranding exercise

It says they're investing £50 million in this plant between 2010 and 2015, presumably a few bob could go towards a PR exercise including a change of name.

yeah but like thomas crapper or armitage shanks eventually they'd forget she'd ever been PM and only associate thatcher with effluent.

historically good way of muting their legacy...

Like Richard the third had a withered arm (he didn't).

Personally I'm hoping the other senior non cabinet tory that was going to be revelled as being a 'friend of Saville' is dennis so that prior to her funeral or at least soon after she like her bestie saville are stricken from history and she becomes nothing more than the prime minister who enabled the largest paedophile ring in history... it'd be fitting, it'd be fitting for all the mewling praismongers and sycophants which have outed themselves in the last few days to also be struck silent and have all their credibility ripped from them as they were all shown to have supported such a person and been complacent in allowing her to go unchallenged when even after it was known they did nothing more than cover it up...

Funny how after the senior tory sued to prove it wasn't him, the whole thing went very quite...

Yes well done it's not you, that's proved conclusively but this surely begs the question well then who? I'm thinking they knew Thatcher was on her way out and only had months not years and so didn't take it further at the time, leaving it to be revealed conveniently after her funeral.

My betting is whatever the reality of it the worms are really going to start appearing from the wood work now...

Bit of luck the ramifications will lead to the tory party eviscerating itself.

Amusing suggestion, but water treatment plants take something contaminated and turn it into something useful. Thatcher took things that were useful and turned them into shit.

in that case let's look at getting gents and ladies' pub toilets up and down the land renamed in her memory.

 

[Pickman's model]

has anyone had any success getting toilets renamed in baroness thatcher's memory?

 

[frogwoman]

it's owned by anglian water who i will contact later.

What was the response?

 

[Pickman's model]

What was the response?

it's still called the saltersford water treatment plant

You are bloody useless, Pickman's model.

it would have worked if only you'd sent one email about it

 

[Onket]

I've only seen the thread today.

 

[coley]

Saltersford conservative reserve?
Where Shyte policies are preserved?

 

[Dogsauce]

Every now and then I cheer myself up by remembering that they had to burn her corpse because her grave would have become the country's biggest public urinal. They had to do this. We're still suffering from her shit, but they can't ever take that one away from us.

 

[Sprocket.]

Good idea though it is on reflection I think it better if that person was erased from memory and history

Perhaps some sort of rhyming slang?

Going for a Thatcher = having a shit

yeh but if the only thing bearing her name was a water treatment plant near grantham she'd sink into obscurity: how many people in council flats know or care why their block besrs its name?
