It really is true isn't it?

I shall try to avoid all the fawning the news will be spewing out of the next few days and drinking a toast to the miners etc.. instead!

Whilst everyone is going ding dong, expect the govt. to bury all manner of stories, so keep your eyes open

Alan Sugar: "Baroness Thatcher in the 80's kicked started the entrepreneurial revolution that allowed chirpy chappies to succeed and not just the elite"

 

[Fez909]

Don't apply Thatcher-style cuts to your celebrations...fuck austerity, go large!

Just found out. Trying not to look too happy at lunch with my Tory mum.

that noted libertarian and championer of free speech Guido Fawkes turned the comments on this story off pretty sharpish on his website. didn't go as he hoped I think. shame.

especially if you're on the party on the weekend.

They cut short Kosmo Vinyl's interview as 'listed londoner' on Radio London to break the news!

Interesting career summary from the BBC:

Baroness Thatcher's government privatised several state-owned industries. She was also in power when the UK went to war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands in 1982.

And that's yer lot.

Farage: "Very sad to hear of the death of Margaret Thatcher, a great patriotic lady."

hard to feel too jubilant, when her / the ideologies and interests she fought for are stronger / more dominant than ever

Ding dong the witch is dead.

 

[marty21]

best day since she resigned - in those days we had no internets to find out stuff from - no boards to rant on - no twitter /fb joy

someone brought in the afternoon edition of the standard to work - which they had bizarrely got Boy George to sign

 

[lizzieloo]

Ding dong

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

My FB newsfeed is all full of DING DONG.

 

[DotCommunist]
