Did Rupert have a falling out with Thatcher towards the end?

I ask because on a whim I have been watching Fox News for the past twenty minutes and they havent mentioned the death at all (even on the news ticker), indeed their breaking news currently is that there are legal moves afoot to legalize the practice of taking roadkill home and eating it.

Margaret Thatcher.

Sadly Missed....

Yep.

That looks just like the scene in 'The Woman in Black' when the horrifying undead woman flies across and swoops down on the innocent to inflict fear and misery upon them...oh, hang on.

Cake and rum now, still at my mum's so it's under the guise of 'celebrating dumping my boyfriend'. Thank fuck for timing.

Glasgow council has turned off its webcam feeds for George Square, says it all...

Mum dilemma time...is it ok to bring kids along to an event basking in someone's death? Just had a conversation with my 12year old and asked her why she wants to come. Even though athiest she replied: Because she did horrid things and she's definitely going to hell. Fair enough

Typically, I was asleep 8 hrs behind the UK when it all kicked off. Didn't check my phone, and then heard it on the radio driving into work. Frustratingly wondering what was being posted on urban for the last 6 hours

I live in Tory Town. I'm going to go have have a drink and troll the fuck out of everyone I meet

Reminds me of the Bill Bailey joke about how "speaking as a mother..." is usually the equivalent of prefacing an opinion with "suspending all rational thought for a moment....". What's the quandary exactly - if you believe this is worth celebrating then it's worth explaining to a 12 (ffs) year old why.

I'm in a northern city in the leftiest bar in town, having my first pint of ale in about 13 years. There are party hats here.

Cheers!

The North East's Evening Chronicle is not exactly going out of its way to sing her praises:

They really are asking for trouble:

Downing St: Baroness Thatcher's coffin will process from Westminister to St Paul's Cathedral before funeral service which will be televised

Catchy tune

Compared to many, my experience of living under Thatcher wasn't that bad.

I was just vilified for being a student, vilified for being in a union, vilified for being a Liverpool supporter and was left on the scrapheap of unemployment for a whole fucking year when I should've been going into my first job after University. Compared to many, I got off really lightly.

That's why I'm glad she's dead.

 

[Ceej]

Can we smelt her down and make something useful?

Unlikely.
