I say it again: I like your style!<BR/><BR/>Annie, I suppose it is distasteful to be discussing it while she's still supping her Horlicks... but that makes me want to discuss it all the more! Given her short term memory loss she'll have forgotten all that's been said in the papers by the weekend anyway...<BR/><BR/>Trevor, what a fantastic idea - let's start canvassing for tenders right now and then go for the cheapest one we can find. That's known as "best value" in the local authority where I work. Of course it could mean wrapping up the old bird in a recyclable bin bag and sending her off to the glue factory... but I really wouldn't mind that.<BR/><BR/>Amanda, tell The Stud to bring his ghetto blaster - I'll bring the Doc Martens (just to make sure).Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-49168985083009680972008-07-24T02:39:00.000+02:002008-07-24T02:39:00.000+02:00Ah Steve, you and The Stud would get on SO well. h...Ah Steve, you and The Stud would get on SO well. he would also suggest a dance on the grave as well, just to pound the old bag further into hell!The Sagittarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513045101496737031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-48333480245847839892008-07-23T23:45:00.001+02:002008-07-23T23:45:00.001+02:00Hi Steve - I actually don’t think she will be give...Hi Steve - I actually don’t think she will be given a state funeral - there would be far too much opposition. Personally I never liked her. I am a life long socialist and Mrs Thatcher represents everything I oppose like privatisation of the NHS. <BR/><BR/>I do have to reluctantly admit she was an effective leader for a short while - until she became oblivious to the advice of those closest to her. Some would argue she never listened to anyone’s advice. <BR/><BR/>One idea for you to consider – why don’t we put her funeral out to competitive tender just like she did the jobs of many of my friends who were cleaners and catering staff in the NHS?Trevor Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148705981847576706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-72619068030869653392008-07-23T23:45:00.000+02:002008-07-23T23:45:00.000+02:00I just can't see it happening Steve.. it'd cause a...I just can't see it happening Steve.. it'd cause a riot and divide the country for sure.

Having experienced the degrading means-testing, regarding poll-tax, during her period in office, I will never forgive her.<BR/><BR/>Amongst her numerous crimes, Mags also did irreparable damage to the ITV network! Stephen Tompkinson sums up my feelings about the Thatch, pretty well, in "Brassed Off" whilst dressed as a clown in front of a bunch of kiddies!!<BR/><BR/>David Troughton once said in an interview in "Doctor Who Magazine", a journal not normally considered a hotbed of political debate (!), it would take fifty years to recover from the mess Thatcher made.

She wouldn't approve for one thing! Give her a privitised one where parts of her get cremated at different crematoriums, then they lose her ashes and overcharge her family etc.<BR/><BR/>In addition she did not get us through WWII & nor was she the only PM to be elected 3 times, so what WOULD the criteria be for according her this honour?The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.com
