    Well she did at least inspire a huge thread on here about herself!

    I’m concerned that holding her funeral in such a place could create problems, not just for all the businesses in that are which will be disrupted, but because of the possibility of any protest becoming violent. Wouldn’t it have been better to hold it somewhere a lot quieter and easier to police?

    Aren’t the current Pendelino trains an engineering descendent of the APT?

    Been on nights so lots of catching up on this thread. Heard and read lots more about her in last few days of course.

    The bit that stood out for me was the soundbite from sometime after she left no 10 where she talks about how every politician can understand that one might be stabbed in the back, but she couldn’t get over or forgive how it happened to her.

    For me that brought it all home that irrespective of her policies (which as part of the stupid and impertinent lefty club I of course mostly didn’t agree with), she was driven beyond all common sense. No doubt that the 150 or so Conservative MP’s in less than safe seats and her own cabinet were right to get her out before she lost them the next election and still she couldn’t see how she had brought this ousting upon herself. We don’t need political changelings like Blair, Clegg and Cameron, but we really don’t need rigid and uncompromising ones either.

    ….. she talks about how every politician can understand that one might be stabbed in the back, but she couldn’t get over or forgive how it happened to her.

    Well that is something she had in common with Ted Heath then. He too couldn’t get over or forgive how she stabbed him in the back.

    But I’m surprised to hear that she was surprised.

    After all, I would have expected that she, of all people, would have been fully aware of just how cold and ruthless Tory politicians can be.

    The only tears she is known to have shed were ones of self pity.

    All very well if correct and informed, but I’ve seen and heard her criticised for planning to nuke Bueonos Aries invading Iraq, causing the ERM crash and a whole host of other bollox that Lefties love to spiel and blame anyone for with no basis in fact. Half those dancing in the streets were not even born during the good bit of her influence.

    Baying ‘Thatcher Thatcher Thatcher Dead Dead Dead,’ is just crass and certainly not the sort of behaviour a fair society would wish to tolerate.

    Well, i’ve seen and heard her praised for curing cancer, inventing the internet and having a great pair of baps and a whole host of other etc. etc.

    Though the baps bit might be true

    That may be true, together with the other half eulogising her not even being born during her influence.

    Which “good bit” was that? The leaving of Downing Street?

    So you think Britain is no longer influenced by that “unique and towering figure” ?

    Well that’s very much a minority point of view – both the Government and HM Opposition’s official position is that her legacy lives on.

    And I think it is probably fair to say that even the lives of young people today have been affected by her premiership.

    Let’s not forget the role (s) played by her colleagues in the cabinet. Messrs Howe, Lawson, Major and lamont. Mr Tebbit, Mr Fowler, Mr Parkinson, Mr Hurd Mr Redwood. Mr Whitelaw, Mr Heseltine, Mr Clarke Mrs Currie, Mr Pym. I could go on.. they’re all to blame along with the conservative party financiers

    Very true. And I also like to remember the responsibility of those who voted Conservative, without them none of it would have been possible.

    Hopefully there will be no more threads like this, all our politicians from now on will be honest, intelligent and compassionate, they will be voted for by a pub lic who like and respect them and we will all be slim biking wonder kids riding dry trails:-)

    Scotland requested that they be allowed to do the honors, specifically because they wished to ensure that Thatcher had actually died. Plans for the Scottish funeral involved a 21 cannon salute carried out by the artillery detachment of the Black Watch. Rather than use blanks, the Black Watch would fire live high explosive shells directly into Thatcher’s coffin. The coffin’s remains would then be gleefully urinated upon by drunken members of the Scottish public. Most Scots feel that this would be an appropriately solemn farewell to the dictator they so adore.

    The way in which Thatcher’s corpse will be disposed has not yet been decided. A whitepaper published in Science in 2009 discussed the viability of a number of options. On cremation, it stated that the corpse of a lich is notoriously difficult to burn, and attempting to burn the body of the arch-lich herself would undoubtedly result in failure. Burial was also considered, but the estimated cost to prevent the inevitable haunting of the area surrounding the burial site was deemed to be too high. The subject would need to be buried below a bloodstone 2.5km in diameter, which itself would need to be sealed via sacrificing the lives of 250 union members atop the aforementioned stone. Experts in the field are currently looking towards recent advancements in nuclear waste storage, and 2.5% of the UK budget is put aside annually for ongoing research and development into the potential solutions to Thatcher Storage.

    But I’m surprised to hear that she was surprised.

    That surprises me, ernie, as I thought it was well known that she was so sure of her victory in the leadership election that she didn’t even bother attending in person.
