Sycophancy? I don't agree with Tories as a rule. I'm not monied etc.
However if my wife was being pulled from the rubble of a building that had just been blown up killing others would I consider carrying on doing the job? Like **** I would.
Would I a few hours later get up and give a speach on the dot without looked half-pissed from the stress and alot of vodka? Well I'd be the later, I wouldn't be giving a speech.
Many of us would be in the same camp as me on this.
What are you talking about now?
What in the name of all that is holy are you blathering on about now?
The same camp as you....?

I'm sorry, but I can't let that one go. All you're missing most of the time is a bouffant wig and the handbag! And that's not [i]all[/i] the time, just most of it 😛

I think he's still going on about this :

That face looks potatoshopped on.
She left the Police station at 4am- at 09.30am she was composed and gave a rousing speech.The blast badly damaged her bathroom, but left her sitting room and bedroom unscathed
What message did that send to her attackers?
Like I said - I'm not a fan of the Tories but bloody ell she showed some metal.
Wikipedia won't save you. Please explain why your last post makes any semblance of sense whatsoever? as I can't decipher anything from that gibberish.
And neither can anyone from your camp....

EDIT: So you're seriously suggesting that the fact that your enemies aren't very good at making bombs is a sound basis for re-election?
What message did that send to her attackers?
That they hadn't injured her in any way ?
I thought Annie Lennox's post on fb was pretty fair, as someone of a similar generation it summed up my thoughts more eloquently and diplomatically than I could have
It says a lot to me she died in a hotel whilst her kids who live abroad stayed abroad despite knowing she was very ill

Then there are lots of elderly people living in homes who don't see their offspring but expect an inheritance.
TBH it wasn't a tatty hotel in Margate was it 🙂
And as is customary for a former MP - someone else was picking up the (absolutely huge) tab
Still... at least it wasn't us in this case. Every cloud....

What are you talking about now?
I've no idea and it's not as entertaining as a silent protest at a funeral.
Can we return to that high standard please, or is it just a downward spiral into rambling incoherency?
hora - Member"What are you talking about now?"
I know the event you were talking about but not how your 'analysis' or the event had any relevance to the conversation at that time. Standard.
Hora --best sticking to things you know about-- cocks
rudebwoy - MemberHora --best sticking to things you know about-- cocks
Well aren't you just lovely! 😀
What if I liked cocks? Would that make me a lesser man than you 'rudeboy'?
Polly Toynbee v Charles Moore on QT tonight - could be interesting! I wonder what the first question will be?!?
Plus slightly poor MP line-up considering - Clark, Blunkett and Menzies Cambell
Hora--not at all-- but your 'support' for Thatcher seems very strange-- or are you just seeking a response..... there are many who have half formed 'opinions' that seem to be based on media 'views'-- misconstruing many events, and twisting things to suit the prevaling agenda-- thing is there are many people who participated in a lot of those events--some on here , and many others of a certain age, who were very 'involved'-- if you or any other wanted you could do some proper research , but that's lots of work--and i think you would rather take the easy option and regurgitate half truths and lies--very fitting on a Thatcher Thread ..
Wrong. Numerous times I've asked for sources for every graph and claim on this topic.
Wrong target dude. Every claim has to have supporting evidence as I've stated.
Now take your 'cock' and place it somewhere for safe keeping. Maybe someone who likes it.
Interesting image on Twitter showing why football will not be considering a silence.[img]

Bernard Ingham showing he is a **** of the highest order.
O/T: Football consider a silence? On a recent Leeds visit to Sheffield I bet some Sheffield residents wish that football was played behind closed doors (sadly).

That game was a disgrace and is to be replayed this weekend. It won't be fun in Leeds this sat.

I didn't catch if. Did it say "I apologise for every piece of music I've made since Eurythmics?"
😆
Who is musical director for the wake?
Anyone done a playlist? I'm thinking there are some real crackers

I think the people who kept voting for her are more to blame. It wasnt like she was hiding what she was up to. Rejoicing over the death of an old woman is a bit sad. (and I'm from Consett, a place affected by the Tory policies as much as anywhere else)
In all fairness, dismantling or repealing legislation by previous governments can be just as momentous a decision as making it in the first place. And it was, wasn't it?
thats true molgrips, but the point is that shes not deserving of a state funeral
rkk01 - MemberWho is musical director for the wake?
Oh let it be danny boyle.
thought it was a military funeral
It's a state funeral in all but name.
Yep it is not a full state funeral. Not sure the distinction is that important to be quite honest, it's all about perception.
so its not a state funeral then , that's all I want to know .

if its paid for by the state, parliament was recalled to discuss her death, the head of state will be there and its being held at st pauls - which has been used for numerous state funerals
Im struggling to see how it can be anything else
There appears to be some distinction about lying in state.
Boyle is confident he can rise to the occasion and distil the essence of the Thatcher effect, especially when it comes to financial de-regulation. ‘It’ll start, like her reign did, with a really big bang, and end with a whimper. The bang will come from an Irish pyrotechnic outfit who contacted us saying they’re keen to do the work.
😀

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
Ah, but apparently this duck like creature is actually a moorhen.
The only difference between this debacle and full on state funeral is the lying in state bit. Given the depth of feeling on both sides I would suggest that lying in state and risking the general public getting close would be far too risky, hence the "state-funeral-lite" that we'll see on Wednesday.
As I said before, if I'm paying for it I would like the day off to [s]enjoy[/s] watch it.
I object to paying for this.
Can someone else who liked her cough up my bit please?
