To mark the start of the 53 days of celebration until we reach the glorious anniversary of 08/04, here's something about fatch that I didn't know:

I wouldn't be surprised to find that Eyesmouth-Wrongway sits in the House of Lords, or that it was the original surname of a Guardian columnist or similar.

dead but unfotunately not forgotten. This lot are doing things even she wouldn't have dreamed of.

I was certainly reminded of Margaret yesterday. My mum passed on this poster to me from my dad's belongings and I'm so glad she did.
One of the best demos I can ever recall going to.

This is what I hate most about social media; this is clearly a made up quote.

Conservatives MPs are pushing for the creation of a Margaret ThatcherDay to celebrate the record of the former prime minister.

Equalities minister Kemi Badenoch threw her "personal" endorsement behind the idea in the Commons on Wednesday after she was quizzed on the matter by MPs.


Sheryll Murray, the MP for South East Cornwall, said the late Baroness Thatcher "led the way by showing women that they can reach the highest office and do the job well".

Ms Murray said the government should consider emulating the Falkland Islands and "celebrate a Margaret Thatcher day". The remote archipelago celebrates the occasion on January 10 every year.
Her suggestion was greeted with cheers by other Tory MPs on the benches around her.

Can't we celebrate national Thatcher day on 31 march, 22 November or 8 April?

 

[Storm Fox]

Well that's not going to have any unintended consequences is it? Like being day to for various protesters to rally around and the protests making the news instead of reminding people of the past 'glories' of the Conservative Party.

Yes, every day since 08/04/13 has been worthy of celebration.

On second thoughts 18 June, the anniversary of orgreave, ought to be national Thatcher day, the day on which we all show our derision for the iron lady and all she stood for

wtf are you suppose to do on national Thatcher day
Fuck a Miner, go around stealing milk from kids

 

[friendofdorothy]

We can recreate the ding dong the witch is dead parties that we enjoyed so much.

I can enjoy telling people about Clause 28 and Thatchers homophobia again

Take your point but not sure that's true tbh - she went as far as (further than) what was allowed at the time.

This still brings a tear though:

The Orgreave Justice Campaign have been commemorating that date for a while now, less so in the pandemic years though but it's a good day out when it happens.

Thatcher may be long dead but unfortunately her legacy very much lives on in both Labour and the Conservatives.

Perhaps we should treat it in similar fashion to November 5th. We should all in our local communities create efigies of the evil woman and place them atop bonfires to burn them.

Like we do in Goldthorpe?
