Margaret Thatcher is Dead

[Nanovia]

Has anyone watched The Iron Lady?

[Calorax]

Churchill wasn't particularly good; she's not got much to live up to there.

He was ok. Better then Chamberlain and Atlee. Tho not as good as Uncle Joe.

No no no. Attlee's the all time greatest British PM.

Yeah, it's a pretty awesome Kung Fu flick.

Nah. It's Churchill, followed by Thatcher. Then Major, and 10 feet of dirt, then Cameron, Attlee.

Then a mile of dirt..... and Blair.

After that we have some sewage, then Chamberlain.

My sincere condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues.

Her distrust of communism and desire for a more conservative Britain are an inspiration. Her actions and accomplishments were extraordinary, and she inspired great positive change domestically and valiantly combated communism in collaboration with my country's President Ronald Reagan.

She will be missed.

Followed by Clement Attlee, closely in turn followed by Clement Richard Attlee.

“F**k this "Don't speak ill of the dead" shit! People don't become better when they are dead; you just talk about them as if they are. But it's not true! People are still a**holes, they're just dead a**holes.” -Lenny Killmister.

Now, I'm not saying that the name-calling in that quote applies to the Baroness, but the death of a public figure is always cause for debate regarding their legacy, and to balance the good and evil that they did in life. Let's not assume that her death somehow absolves her of criticism or analysis.

I wanted to like it. But I found it rather boring.

Attlee's government was pretty unrivaled tbh. If you're accounting "all actions of the British state" to the leader of the government then he's the best.

Somewhere out there a parade is being held in Argentina.

Smash the unions, fuck the poor, welcome to 1984.

Good to see you're upholding the proud conservative position of authoritarian subversion of civil rights though. Keep it up you're a service to your cause.

There's one in Brixton, it would appear.

[Mozzissey]

Via guillotine?

No, a stroke? Oh.

Thank you. I knew that, but somehow my typing fingers automatically went in the wrong direction.

And Glasgow.

It was okay.
The way it was portrayed reminded me of my grandmother for whatever reason.

[Cosmicus]

Meh, she was a conservative.

But never mind, rest in peace.

[The Holy Therns]

People! She had a family who loved loved her, and they deserve respect. Please, don't make this into a debate about Margaret Thatcher. "Good riddance" is not something you say when someone dies. Be respectful, for God's sake! Just because you disagreed with her policies, doesn't mean you should rejoice her death.

Of course they deserve respect. Margaret, however, does not deserve it in the slightest. Didn't then, doesn't now.

That's your response to a short, impromptu eulogy? Get out.

You've no right to tell him to get out.

It's a eulogy that doesn't have much basis in fact apart from the bit about being best buds with Reagan.

Did Nancy know where Ronnie was holstering his Raygun?

Glaswegians'll get trousered over just about anything.

I am not going to make the comment about shut mineshafts that I want to.

What's wrong with it? You said "Her actions and accomplishments were extraordinary, and she inspired great positive change domestically" and the poster expanded on the reality of that.
