Ugh. Fuck's sake.

One for teuchter's sexism thread and no I'm not being funny.

I shared the Everton pic on fb

Ugh. Fuck's sake.

The Chinese down the side is really bad as well; 'cunt' is a fairly unisex insult here like in English but uses it there in a very dodgy fashion.

Tbf I would be surprised if he knew any Chinese and probably got some sort of translation software to do it. I will admit I thought twice about posting it here as I thought it was somewhat sexist but in terms of the darker stuff he does that is relatively mild.

It comes across as a deeply misogynist fantasy of violence against women with Thatcher's head almost tacked on as an afterthought and excuse more than anything even vaguely political.

 

[weepiper]

It is seriously not just 'somewhat sexist'. And what JimW said.

 

[teqniq]

Fair enough, I have removed it.

 

[treelover]

pretty ugly really, I wonder how he researched the variety of torture 'instruments'

Thankyou I have edited my quote too

Right, I'm struggling slightly to get my head around this, but I've got this horrible nagging doubt that she might actually not be dead... or maybe it's just the realisation that we've somehow ended up with the fuckers back in power again and laying waste to the economy and the social infrastructure of the country once again.

I just kinda think that someone ought to stick a stake through here heart just to be sure.

 

[Pingu]

He's got a good point. I'm surprised he didn't suggest cutting her up and selling the bits off as a profit for the economy.

hotels are certainly more expensive. I couldn't find a decent one at a non stupid price.

Margret Thatcher, liberator of South Africa.

She did, however, sympathise with the white population of South Africa, whom she credited for the country’s economic development. She was unimpressed by what she regarded as the half-baked socialist policies being pursued by many African governments. She also feared that they did not grasp that it was in their own interest to limit their power, preferring to try to suppress the opposition and control the press and judiciary. In Commonwealth meetings, she regarded those who accused her of preferring British jobs to black lives as hypocrites, given their own records on human rights and dependence on trade with South Africa

With President P.W. Botha, Mrs Thatcher made little progress, despite fierce exchanges. But she was determined to encourage more reform-minded members of the South African government, in particular Botha’s successor, FW de Klerk. At the 1989 Commonwealth meeting in Kuala Lumpur, she opposed the wish of all the others to impose sanctions against South Africa, and backed de Klerk’s reforms, which was felt to be an appalling breach of etiquette.
However, she had made clear to de Klerk, with her customary lack of ambiguity, the need to revoke the ban on the ANC and release Nelson Mandela. At midnight on the eve of the opening of the South African parliament, de Klerk telephoned me to say that my prime minister would not be disappointed

This is beyond a funeral. They've used her death to silence dissent and re-write history. Thatcherite neo-liberalism will be vindicated at all costs.

I just don't seem able to get that Radiohead song out of my head.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry​

Don't leave me high​

Don't leave me high​

Don't leave me dry​

Cromwell solution ffs!!!!! ,did'nt have a fucking clue did she?

 

[killer b]

i can think of a cromwell solution which could be applied to thatcher.

On 30 January 1661, (symbolically the 12th anniversary of the execution of Charles I), Cromwell's body was exhumed from Westminster Abbey, and was subjected to the ritual of a posthumous execution. His body was hanged in chains at Tyburn. His disinterred body was thrown into a pit, while his severed head was displayed on a pole outside Westminster Hall until 1685.

 

[cesare]

Someone did a list of all her crimes. Can anyone point me to it?

Edit: Found it on another thread

 

[J Ed]

Hahahahha

 

[geminisnake]

is it over yet??

Just starting for me... I'm in full-on celebration mode

I'm setting the pub quiz tonight, and there can obviously only be one theme for it. I need a tie-breaker. It's pretty easy to think of the question: UK unemployment reached a record high in April 1984 - how many people were officially counted as unemployed?

I know it's April (at least I know that's the highest percentage, 12%), but I can't find out the actual figure. Can anyone point me out a reliable source?

I don't think there's a reliable source... but it seems the (official) figure is either 3.4 million or 3.6 million, depending on which side of centre you stand.

My son's band are playing the Stag and Hounds tonight in Bristol
Their Face book status:

"Dedicating tonight's set to Maggie. Fitting cos all our songs are about cunts."

Makes yer proud.

You'd have thought there must be. I mean, it's the official figure. They must write it down. Can't bloody find it anywhere tho.

I like to argue that it was 3.6 million, with an actual figure somewhere in the region of 5.5 million but I attempted to argue this on a predominantly right-wing site, and I was informed, in no uncertain manner, that I was exaggerating the figure by .2 Million (like it fookin' matters at that stage but hey ho, they're allowed their opinion, also)
