Prime Minister Thatcher -The Mod Made Thread

[Rubiconic Crossings V2 rev 1f]

People will do the same with Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc.. People have done the same with FDR as well, but we look back on him as a good president, no?

When John Major dies, will we be partying in the streets? The answer is no.

Please don't miss my further up post either.

I doubt anyone would notice John-o croaking...

Would be rather difficult to tell the difference, wouldn't it? He makes Professor Binns look like the life of the party.

Hardly, if they bothered to invite her, I can hardly see her accepting.

She could have gone in a dress shaped like the Falklands with the colours of the Argentine flag on it.

Thatcher is dead, but so long there burns in a heart an implacable hatred of the Working Class and a longing for authoritarianism, there shall always be a Thatcherite.

The Conservative Party, the Labour Party, and the Liberal Democrats will continue her legacy by perpetuating her policies. RIP.

[Battenburgia]

oh, nothing to do with getting rid of unwanted results, possibly with a more left leaning opinion then

of course, when it's a really important issue, they somehow manage to seperate Wales from the English Midlands

You get what you pay for, that chip one had 5000+ respondents and so much more expensive than the 1800 or so the Thatcher poll had. You should really learn some basics about polling before making suggestions like that tbh.

I know plenty about social research methodology thank you very much, having worked in the area for many years, and I can spot a shit poll when i see one.

Combining a largely labour/plaid cymru small populated NATION with a largely conservative, largely populated AREA of England is just ridiculous, the areas have little in common either culturally, linguistically or politically. It would make just as much sense to combine the Midlands viewpoint with that of the Belgians

If this poundshop poll cannot manage to grasp the simple fact that the three main political entities that make up Great Britain are Scotland, England and Wales, and make that their starting point before subdividing any further, I think that any conclusions should be taken with a very large pinch of salt....it's at best very lazy polling, a first year undergrad could do a better job, even with such minimal data.

Then I'm puzzled about your little conspiracy theory tbh, because that doesn't exactly shout social research understanding (quite the opposite).

(You're also overstating Plaid).

He makes my step brothers amputated (testicular cancer) bollock look like the life of the party.

Are we allowed to talk about the song that's currently doing quite well in the charts that the BBC has decided not play on its chart show?

[Nadkor]

On the other hand, this very much sums up the BBC generally:

BBC receives 268 complaints saying coverage biased in favour of Thatcher, and 227 saying it was biased against her

I had to look that up being the cultural vacuum that I am...I admit I laughed.

Which is?

Aww, have they officially refused? Fuck.

I think it's ok in an educational context...

So yeah, "Ding Dong the Witch is dead" is currently skyrocketing up the charts.

They're going to do a news segment in the chart explaining the song and why it's where it is and play 5 seconds of it.

Because apparently the criteria for appearing on the charts are no longer "selling enough copies to get onto the charts"; they've been widened to "selling enough copies for the right reasons to get onto the charts".

It got to the top (What is it in 3rd place?) and should be played regardless of why it skyrocketed. Fucking BBC.

as the sex pistols will testify, that always was the reason.

If only the BBC was only going to show 5 seconds of the funeral.

It has admittedly been pretty fun to watch all the people that usually rant about political correctness gone mad and how you can't say anything these days and the papers that are usually railing against press regulation days turn on a dime penny.

e: a 5p

I'm pretty young (which as far as I know means I'm only allowed to say good things) but I still remember waking up one day and turning the channel fruitlessly to find every channel covered in Dianas funeral and now your post has made me very very worried about the poor kids of today and their morning cartoon prospects and ugh.

Im more concerned about having to watch French protesters lynch and burn effigies of her on national television all damn day. Hell they even have a chant " The iron bitch is....etc"
