funny old world when the socialist worker has the only headline that matches my thoughts... even most 'left wing' papers going with the 'divided the nation' crap

If it's acceptable to use the death of six innocent children for political point scoring then I feel Thatcher is fair game.

they strangely refused to print the comment I submitted to that article (a comment I stole from someone else, btw)

"It is disgusting of the left to make political points out of Thatcher's death, isn't it? Almost as bad as using Mick Philpott to attack welfare"

She had been moved to the Ritz to live out her last days as it was easier for them to look after her. Posh cunts hospice.

Though the headline is as classy as ever.

should have been something about a late checkout.

That figure's wildly inaccurate - I was there around 9 for an hour or so and there was a minimum of 250 I reckon

 

[ferrelhadley]

Dunno if its authentic.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

That's nasty

I was thinking more of tempting them away with their favourite food

When looking for a symbol of her legacy one could do worse than a money grabbing liar who thought of little beyond himself, a man with scant regard for life in persuit of his selfish ends : Step forward Derby's own Mr M Philpott.

A true British revolutionary and as our first, and only, female Prime Minister her status in history is guaranteed.

Ha-ha fuckin' ha!

Ding-dong etc...

An interesting Thatcher-linked incident in London's Theatreland this evening. The Press Association reports that the audience attending a performance of Billy Elliot, the musical set in northern England during the miners' strike, was asked to vote on whether a song about Margaret Thatcher's death should be performed or not.
According to PA, the second act of the musical begins with the song Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher which has lyrics that refer to celebrating the death of the former prime minister.
The news agency quotes a Billy Elliot insider saying: "It was taken seriously and debated and finally decided that it would be best to put it to a democratic vote to the audience.
"It was a near unanimous verdict to keep the song in and go ahead. It was an electric show."
Only three audience members voted against the song being performed.

From the Guardian live...

you may need to tilt your head!

I said quite a lot of stuff earlier, some liked and some didnt. I stand by most of it, but would like to apologise for describing celebrating her death as being "vulgar" and "tacky". although I don't really go along with such celebrations I can see that was an unfair thing to say. I do think the celebrations are ultimately a product of impotence, but that's another thing..

Hope the funeral procession goes as well as Khomeini's.

When the Ayatollah’s coffin was brought to Behesht-e-Zahara cemetery in Teheran, wailing mourners ripped the body from the flimsy box and fought to touch it.

As a helicopter brought the open wooden coffin containing the mortal remains of the Imam, nearly a million mourners thrust forward in the blistering heat and choking dust to touch the body and snatch a piece of the linen burial shroud, leading to an ignominious exposing of the remains.

The corpse spilled to the ground, bare feet protruding from beneath the white shroud. As the Revolutionary Guards beat back the crowds, firing shots in the air and spraying fire hoses, other soldiers shoved the body and coffin back into the chopper. It lifted off with the casket hanging precariously out the door.

comment from my friends' daughter - aged 25

I feel rather odd today at the death of this figure who's always been a shadow over my family, and even though I was only a baby when she ended her 'reign', the ripples of her policies and ideas washed over my childhood. I grew up with stories of the miners strike, and it was as real for me as for my parents and family/friends who went through it. I grew up knowing how much misery was caused to so many, and to people close to me. Rather than being happy at her death I feel that it's just been making me reflect on all these things. And sad that in reality the fact that she's dead today makes no difference to the effect she has already had on the world we live in. If her death would have truly brought an end to something that she'd done I would have been out partying. But as it stands its just left me a little empty.
