I'm sure it will

I have much respect for our REAL leader so FF it's your gig to stop it before it starts

I suggest she is given a burial just as done for Oliver Cromwell - will give enough time to get the pike on the bridge sorted out

We will laugh the day that Thatcher dies,
Even though we know it's not right,
We will dance and sing all night. Hefner, 'The Day That Thatcher Dies'

Cameron is to return immdiately from his world tour, we are now told.

Has N Korea declared nuclear war on Buckingham Palace then?

I can't think of anything to say. Well, I can, but I'd better not.

I would imagine that 5 live is a good listen right now........

at least she wasn't an old etonian.
Though little good her humble origins did for the rest of us....

I stood in silent witness with a weary head about three o'clock one May morning in 1979. I was outside the office of the local Conservatives Association near where I lived and I watched with a heavy heart as the local MP arrived, unctuous as ever, to thank the constituency workers for their 'maarrrrvellous' efforts. I was only 16 but I had little doubts that a terrible change had occurred and I've not revised that opinion since. My MP was, of course, Margaret Hilda Thatcher.

We have become a corpse?


It enrages me that Thatcher still brings out the very worst in me, thirty-five years after she began her devastation of the people and the culture into which I was born. I feel nothing except regret that this didn't happen thirty-five years ago, which brings me down to her petty, vindictive level.
