Thatcher is dead

Manchester United v Manchester City: no minute's silence for Margaret Thatcher ahead of derby
Manchester United have confirmed there will be no minute’s silence prior to tonight’s derby against Manchester City following the death of Lady Thatcher this morning.

Plans by Mrs Thatcher to implement an ID card system for football supporters in the late-1980s proved hugely divisive and controversial, leading to a groundswell of animosity towards the former Conservative party leader.

In recent months, Liverpool supporters have been pictured with anti-Thatcher banners, with derogatory chants also aired.
And with Thatcher viewed negatively in working-class towns and cities in northern England, United’s decision not to hold a minute’s silence is likely to prevent that opposition being aired during any tribute.

Fucking shame....be great if the minute's silence was totally drowned out like Gideon at the Parolympics....

"We’re deeply saddened at the loss of Margaret Thatcher. While the Iron Lady is sadly gone, her iron will, her unfailing trust in what is right and just, and her lessons to all of us will live on forever. She was a trailblazer like no other. We lost an icon, but her legacy, as solid as iron, will live on in perpetuity."

- Sarah Palin
