it's almost celebratory in nature

And why even bother with an effigy, when we can have the real thing?

Well I thought that part went without saying! I'm not sure he'd burn, though.

Ooh I don't know; he's certainly oily enough. Should burn for ages.

(Whilst simultaneously providing warmth for some of those 'hardworking families' the tories like to bang on about so much)

I think we could join together as a nation and celebrate her legacy in the most appropriate manner possible

Driving a stake through his heart and shooting him with silver bullets might just work.

Thatcher Day, FFS 🙄 Someone definitely has their finger on the pulse of the Nation.

That should help crystallise the referendum vote up here 🙂

if you read the bill it excludes Scotland from it

i assume this is so it can have Wee eck day

Can't believe no one's posted this, we already have a celebratory song why do we need a day ?

Yes Jambalaya, loads of songs, Billy Bragg, Fine Young Cannibals, Christy Moore for a start. Could be a day of music and tea )with Pinochet).

It does seem odd for the most divisive politician of recent years (ever?) to have a day named after her when wounds have certainly not healed in many parts of the nation. And Scotland. Not well thought out.

I'll still work on a Margret Thatcher day as I need to earn money to pay bills for utilities that she sold that we already owned.

The cow!

You burn if you want, this chancellor's not for burning!

That seems vaguely familiar 😉

I do hope this gets in . The parties will be fab . It will be the new Guy Fawkes Night with quasi contemporary relevance. Less chance of the bonfire being put out by rain too.

Not if you pour enough petrol on it. It seems that the streets in the 80's were mostly on fire.I always thought it was a policy introduced by her oil company director husband to sell more petrol. 😀
