Baroness Thatcher dies overnight

[Big Dave]

Heard on you tube last night:

'I'd screw that like Thatcher would fuck a Northern town' - Jimmy Carr.

[Swoop]

An Argentinian pope and no Maggie.

I bet the Falkland Islanders' are nervous now.



She certainly changed Britain.

[Brian d marge]

She was good at her craft , followed the wrong school of thought , like most things some good point and some bad ,

certainly opened up the UK to what is is now ( Fked , try 1400 pound p/m for a bedsit ,,eer studio in west London )

I for one would like to see more like her , rather than the smiley sly donkey

Point, Stephen...at least you knew she was putting the knife in. She didn't hold your attention whilst sending an underling round behind to stab you in the back.

Its conveniently forgotten of course what sort of a country Margaret Thatcher inherited off her predeccessors in 1979. James Callaghan (gentleman that he was ) was head of an inept Government that had pretty much bankrupted the country. In fairness Ted Heath wasnt so impressive either, nor the manipulator who smoked a pipe and wore slippers. Productivity was abysmal due in part to poor work ethic and the unions were pretty much running the country, a passport to disaster in any economy. Something radical had to be done and Margaret was pretty much the best man for the job. As a bonus the Falklands war restored British military pride and international prestige which had been somewhat dented since the Americans effectively sold out the British in the 1956 Suez crisis.
Its very sad that much of the gains made were squandered by that idiot Gordon Brown, if anything the problems facing the current Conservative led Government are worse than what was the case in 1979.
Maggie fully deserves the send off planned, with full military honours
Now if only we could have someone exactly like her in NZ who would immediately abolish treaty claims, huge CEO bonuses and all the wasteful nonsense that is occuring, whomever is ''on watch''.

Indeed I am! How about Boris Johnson?

God, for a moment I thought you said Boob Johnson...

Well one things for sure she left her mark on life - a pretty big one to boot.... Not sure if I shared her views on a bunch of things but like I said - she left her mark and thats more than most manage.

That she did! She's a woman that will be remembered long in the history of Britain (I liken her a tad to QE1) and the world. Certainly she was a force to be reckoned with and had bigger cajones than a lot a male world leaders. (Iron-balls?)

Oh Yeah, great big Iron Clangers SHE had, loved Maggie for getting on and doing it, best thing that ever happened to the UK.

Conveniently forgetting the facts.

They should put the State Funeral out to commercial tender and accept the lowest bid. Imagine the irony if the Argentine military win the tender.

So, here we are then. Baroness Thatcher dead and an Argentinian Pope. If I were a Falkland Islander, I'd be painting pale blue stripes on my sheep.

Love her or not, there is a lot to be said for this. Plus Go Republic - with a SINGLE Bill of Rights...

Why not, it's good enough for most.
