Oh no Steve, I can't be dealing with pre-20th century history, wasn't it all just a load of beards, knights, wizards, silly hats and Plesiosaurs before 1900?
Actually Plesiosaurs are good, I think the problem is that we dont have those anymore, i hope nessie is a Plesiosaur... although shes a thousand times more likley to be seal/boat/gull/wind/driftwood/clockwork submarine/Scottish bloke who needs to pay his morgage. But if a Plesiosaur did crawl out of the Loch tomorrow, everyone would forget about this Thatcher nonsense pretty quick :O:

Good point, where do you want to start?
Bedroom tax, rail franchise, utilities companies, unemployment, decline of industry, preservation of the union, arms scandals, corruption, credit fueled bubbles, falklands, the disabled, privatisation, affording Trident, getting rid of the NHS......

Wait, you missed the biggest one of them all...
Immigration.

Immigration is just dog whistle politics for people who want to find someone easy to blame.
All the issues I listed are ongoing problems with things Maggies fans claim she fixed while immigration reads exactly the same as it does since Elizabeth I claimed that her nation was being over run by blacks a couple of hundred years ago.

Unlike our PM, at least she knew how to speak English

Anyone of the above, I really dont care :03:

Big Ben to be silent for Baroness Thatcher's funeral

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22157022


Now there's showing respect for someone's funeral, but 10 million for her funeral and now this its way over the top.


But I will say no more on the matter as I promised Jim that I would behave myself on the subject.

They didn't want anyone to hear it go ding-dong.

:haha:

I'm not sensing the lover here.

I'm sure you know how blue I am by now, but that's one of the funniest things I've read Tribesman. :har:

I like other celeb death jokes and I'm not being hypocritical now.

I did not like her point of view, or at least what she publicly said, and did (you seldomly know what people really think, when it comes to power, and influence)
When i was in England in the 198ies it was hard to find an average english citizen who did not dislike what she did, or her. There were songs everywhere which made fun of or condemned her, one of it i remember being the 'Thatcher-snatcher'.
I am not very good in british politics though.

My mother liked her for her wardrobe, and make-up :hmm2:

RIP, and don't come back in another incarnation.

Well, from an Australian perspective we could certainly use a Margaret Thatcher-type leader to shake up and stomp the Unions. Unions here have way too much power.
But, i'm dreaming. Certainly isn't going to happen with Labour in power. Since the Unions were a design of the Australian Labour Party.

That one would be Thatcher, Thatcher, milk snatcher - from when she removed free milk for seven to 11 year olds in the early '70s.

I remember drinking warm, clotting milk out of bottles that'd been in the playground's sun all morning :Kaleun_Sick: - I wish she'd removed it for all. It put me off drinking milk until well into my 20s, and even now it has to be ice cold or I find it repulsive.

I heard people complain about the cost of the funeral. Some grey bloke has a thing to say about that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE1qJsFV8vI

:har: Thanks, subscribed to his channel now.

I'm ignoring tomorrow.

Me too

I just hope there's no trouble from the people claiming the funerals too expensive, only to cost a fortune in vandalism and the justice system.

That was all sorted. The multi millionaire tax dodging convict decided that as people who pay tax were stumping up the millions in cash for his family occasion he would throw in a few quid if there was any additional costs incurred.
