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


No but see, you're only allowed to talk about her policies if you pretend they were good.
We all have to ignore the bad bits now because she's dead.

Because.. reasons.. I guess. :?

ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

A conversation limited to "Falklands apart from Belgrano" is not much of a conversation.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

Just start a party at someone's home. All you really need to celebrate this is a few toasts and a playlist of anti-Thatcher songs.

It's not even that. It wouldn't break PG-13. It's just that mental images of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher engaged in hot steamy passionate lovin' is not something I need right now and shit I've gone and triggered the mental image anyway.

Thanks, TED.

I say the council can go fuck itself. If people want to celebrate, let them as long as they don't start a riot or anything.

In many ways, Thatcher's death is symbolic of unity between the UK and Argentina, where they can both celebrate her death together in a way that hasn't been witnessed before in international politics.

Saying she was a good PM for the UK is like saying Harper is a good PM for Canada. AKA Not really.

Still, you can't deny she was very good at destroying whatever positive relations the Conservative Party still had with the North.

I certainly didn't celebrate when Hitler died.
