    Bet none of those one in ten, is an MP.

  2. Doctor F.

    (to the tune of Tom Hark:) We’re havin’ a party when Thatcher dies, Havin’ a party when Thatcher dies…

  3. Ceiliog

    Tom Hark? Nah! Elvis Costello – “Tramp the Dirt Down”.

    Buy a big rocket and celebrate.

  4. lady burglar

    Charming manners!

  5. Phil

    Appropriate. The woman who did so much to found the get-rich-quick society alongside a headline reporting one of its consequences!

  6. Matthew

    The worst human beings always live to an old age, her mate Pinochet did too……….

  7. Marcs

    She’d better croak soon, I just bought a bottle of champaign, a small bottle but a bottle!

  8. deeKay

    Soon very soon then we can all celebrae

  9. DBC

    I have heard that her grave-site has been licensed for dancing and entertainment.

  10. NJH

    Many of those public sector workers given the heave-ho will be from HMRC, meaning there’s even less likelihood of tax-dodging cunts like Jonathan Harmsworth being made to pay what he owes.

  11. TedB

    It will be interesting to see if Maggie does die soon, how CallMe, can then justify the state funeral the tories will no doubt want, given what his mate George did today.

  12. Matthew

    The funeral’s all sorted, bar the date…… There have been problems organising enough troops to be on the streets though………..

  13. JohnD

    I don’t want old Mrs T to croak, I want her to suffer in agony till she reaches 150.

    No matter when she dies, the press will bang on for an absolute aeon saying what a bloomin’ hero she was. What a pile of dogs’ droppings.

    >> There have been problems organising enough troops to be on the streets though………..

    Will they be wearing police uniforms, just like they did in the god old days.

    Brilliantly, the Mail isn’t happy with how the BBC has plans in place for the sad demise of Lady T while they seem to have started their own deathclock. I don’t think it’s good manners for a paper to do such a thing, and to put it on the front page. On another note, my Mum is happy for me to refer to Churchill as Churchill, but “Thatcher” has to be Mrs Thatcher. I blame Ben Elton.

    “Brilliantly, the Mail isn’t happy with how the BBC has plans in place for the sad demise of Lady T while they seem to have started their own deathclock” – they did in 2008: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1034634/Lady-Thatcher-honoured-State-funeral.html

    Wow, I wouldn’t be shocked to discover they’ve arranged a deal to bundle commemorative CDs with their rag the week she pops as booked years ago. Track 1: She was Only A Grocer’s Daughter by The Blow Monkeys.

  19. NJH

    Track 2: Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead

  20. Marcs

    She must suffer a lot. She needs to be in exquisite agony before she dies and I hope it’s not quick, please don’t let it be quick!

  21. Jswindle

    “Despite the radical Socialist politics of The Flying Pickets then Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher proclaimed to much amusement that it was her favourite record.” – Wiki.

    I vote for Only You, then. Final track.

    *weeps*

  22. karlo

    no offence marcs but if you’re getting off on the idea of a frail old lady dying in agony then maybe you should think about getting yourself a life.

  23. Mail Man

    You can practically sense them drooling as they wrote ‘1 in 10 public sector workers to go’ …. I bet they’re not so pleased when the enormous number of private sector jobs that depend on the public sector also vanish.
    Short-sighted tw@ts.

  24. Jswindle

    Free life to anyone who comments on comments but not on stories. Collect your first token, quite a few comments ago.

  25. Sir Humphrey

    Can we get a public holiday on the day of the state funeral?

  26. karlo

    ‘On another note, my Mum is happy for me to refer to Churchill as Churchill, but “Thatcher” has to be Mrs Thatcher. ‘

    um…perhaps we could also have a prize for anyone who tells us what their mum thinks

  27. Jswindle

    It was an aside, Karlo, to explain the special revevernce a poster has been suggested he give a former Prime Minister. that is mentioned in a headline

    So, no. The prize is only for those who turn up, fail to mention the actual headlines, and instead chastise the posters in a bizarre parental way. You know, bored people like yourself who ask others to get a life.

  28. Marcs

    Thatcher isn’t a frail old lady, it is a monster, a creation gone wrong, horribly wrong, that the world will be better off without.

  29. karlo

    my mistake. I was relying on information published in the Mail.

  30. JSwindle

    Well it is a very disingenuous paper.

  31. lady burglar

    Those that will glorify in the death of a great lady are obviously still wet behind the ears and do not realise what an enormous debt of gratitude this country owes her.I dread to think what would have happened if the last but one Labour government had been allowed to govern whilst being subservient to the unions! I can only hope that she recovers and lives to a ripe old age and confounds you all.

  32. Mr Mordon

    Much as i find Lady burglar talking out of her arse again, i don’t think it looks very good to be drooling over someones imminent death. She is still a human being after all. Lets all grow up a bit shall we?

  33. NJH

    Perhaps it’s to do with my age (I’d just turned 8 when she left Downing Street), and through learning of her policies since and their effects I now think she was a shit PM, there are other old folk whose deaths would be more mutually beneficial to the rest of humanity. A man called Murdoch is the one who springs most instantly to mind, given that he’s still wreaking deeds of evil today.

  34. Steve

    >> and confounds you all.

    Ohh.. very Stewie Griffin

  35. lady burglar

    I had no idea who you were referring to, but I did look the name up. On reflection I think it is more Fanny Deschamps than a cartoon character.

  36. Phil

    Out of interest, here’s the famous/infamous quote. Discuss.

    “I think we’ve been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it’s the government’s job to cope with it. ‘I have a problem, I’ll get a grant.’ ‘I’m homeless, the government must house me.’ They’re casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It’s our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There’s no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation.”

  37. Jswindle

    Mayor Adam West?

  38. Mail Man

    Joseph Goebbels perhaps?

    (do I get a Godwin prize too?)

  39. Jswindle

    The Crypt Keeper from Takes from the Crypt?

  40. deekay

    Cameron (David not Diaz).
    To a lot of people (obviously not that many as she subjugated for two/three terms) she is the bogey man incarnate.
