Thatcher is Dead

[zero000]

Tasteless joke number 1 (shamelessly stolen from Sickipedia):

Margaret Thatcher: brought suffering to millions with a miner's strike, ended her own with a minor stroke.

state funeral isn't it? do we get a day off?

[kaosmark2]

Yeah its amazing how some people love her and how some hate her guts... There is no middle ground with the women.

[the wonderwhy]

She was the only person who managed to fuck more miners than Jimmy Saville.

Good job I'm on my lunchbreak, I am like an excited kid at xmas, this is genuinely the best news I could have hoped for and I have waited for this day for years.

[kaosmark2]

I really hate this idea that people should hold back with their hatred for this women when she spent her entire political career doing the exact opposite with her political opinions....

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Will she have to have an assessment by ATOS to make sure she is not faking it?

[lost]

just read that it'll be given the same status and Diana and Queen Mother - i dont remember if we had days off for them...

[the wonderwhy]

No state funeral, thank god.

[Spindles]

I always said I'd only agree with a state funeral if they buried her alive...

Neil retiring was the trigger for this, couldn't believe the coincidence!!

Amazed that people are unfollowing our Twitter account! WTF? Do they not realise Thatcher tried to end both Free Parties and Festivals?

Glastonbury Festival was relaunched as a CND Festival in 1981 and has taken place virtually every year since. Linking the Festival to CND tied it closely to Michael Eavis’s strong left-wing political views of that time and was a clear statement of protest to Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative Government that came to power in 1979.

Just unfollowed the efestivals twitter account.

I follow it for festival news, not posts about celebrating dead people.
