Thatcher is dead

[frogwoman]

I was beginning to think that she'd outlive us all.

 

[Barking_Mad]

haha! Lovely typo.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Ha ha, about fucking time! Surprised this is only 7 pages long. Should be some good parties this weekend then...

People on their lunch breaks?

Footage of the poll tax riots on Sky - for a moment I thought the party had started early!

Henry Kissinger on BBC 1 now. She gave great head, apparently. It's hard to understand his accent though.

ashes to ashes, dust to dust, an enemy of the people eats the crust

What's all this I hear that Cher has died?

Wow, I thought it might never happen.
Trouble is I now hate Cameron even more.

 

[Ms Ordinary]

Plus footage of people cheering her at some conference: just looks like they are cheering the news (watching at work with the sound turned off).

 

[frogwoman]

Spare a thought for Sassaferrato freezing his arse on a scottish picket line.

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

Well I'd already seen DLA to PIP on two different programmes today. That's now going to be ignored and that's a big story

You can't rhyme 'dust' with 'dust'

e2a: oh, you didn't

 

[DotCommunist]

good job i didn't then

 

[Barking_Mad]

She could have died closer to the weekend so we don't dilute the moment.

One more way to judge and condemn her - the calibre of arsehole at the head of the queue to eulogise her. If only dear old Pinochet were still with us, eh

 

[marty21]

Excellent! I'll be there. That pub is in Canonbury?

St Paul's Road

I was about 6 when Maggie got the boot and I still hated her. In fact coming from a family of atheist lefties hatred of Maggie was the closest thing we had to religion.

Similar here. I wasn't allowed Mr whippy ice cream.

Cheers.

Wow. Just saw this. Well done on posting the real thread.

 

[Wilson]

Come friendly bombs and fall on her funeral.

 

[Barking_Mad]

Or as someone on Twitter said,

"Thatcher dead? Not for much longer. Like when Stalin died, the exorcism begins in earnest."

 

[goldenecitrone]

I was wrong. The Lady is for burning.

[Fez909]

No grave, cremation.

 

[little_legs]

it's hard to be too celebratory as we have to deal with her legacy

BBC's news top three stories ATM:

Ex-Prime Minister Thatcher dies.
Changes to disability benefit begin.
UK retailers ration baby milk.

But this way I've got time to book a cheap train ticket to london.

as a humanist, the death of a person is a time of sadness of the passing of a living, breathing, sentient entity and for the family and friends they leave behind as they continue on their infinite journey. and so with the passing of thatcher (small t), whilst i don't feel celebratory the very best of sentiment i can raise for her and loved ones is "meh"

in part because i have one eye on the current lot of tories in power and feel there is not space for a cigarette paper between them and thatcher. in many ways this current shower are akin to thatcher in her last years of madness, but there is nobody to step up and challenge them from within their own ranks and the left is to the right of centre. hell in a handcart with thatcher at the helm.
