It'll be the first and last time I ever dance with Scousers!
My thanks go to the lovely John and Theresa (well, the lovely Theresa and the warthog-faced, Mancunian cider-processing machine known as John, really) for the following link. They thought it might interest me - I can't think why.

Even more strangely, you might think, I will not be signing this document, however laudable its intent. You see, if there is no big, public funeral for the acid-blooded, Devilwitchqueenbitchclovenhoofedwhoreofanarseholecuntwaspslag formerly known as Margaret Roberts, then where the Hell are people like me ever again going to get the chance to mow down a few guardsmen and the odd gun carriage and smash their ageing Volvos into a Nazi flag-draped coffin containing the heart-staked remains of one of the spawn of Satan before entertaining lily-waving crowds by then pissing on said varicose-veined, whisky-sodden, blue-rinsed remains?
One Declan McManus once told us all to "Tramp the Dirt Down" - and so we must. No, bring it on, I say! I shall be there - and staying on late to make sure she doesn't rise from the grave when the moon is exhaulted.
Hurrah!!!
P.S. It's all round to my place for a few dry sherries when she finally rolls a seven, if the undead can die.

Really can't think of any excuse to give the old cow a state funeral though. I prefer the idea of throwing her on top of a bonfire, with all comers invited to piss on the ashes after a couple of days on the booze. More cost effective and more entertaining.
I'm in on the grave dancing. i'll start saving the airfare. Why this woman and her ilk are celebrated is beyond me.
P.S. Nancy Reagan's only holding on by a thread. How's the saying go? Only speak good of the dead?
Ronald Reagan is dead.
Good.
He needs company.
I love dancing and she was born in Grantham?
Man, hasn't she gone yet?!! It's July 25 2008 and she is STILL alive?!
Love

Protests there may be (heavily suppressed by the Met), but I couldn't bear the godawful sight of the bluerinses, Surrey golf types and Sun-reading taxidrivers 'paying their respects', waving of Union flag all over the place, the hours of TV given over to the event, book of condolence, flowers, Tebbit wiping away a tear. . .
It's bad enough that there's an attempt to reinvent her image as a cuddly eccentric (the recent BBC drama for example).
No, no, no. Let her slip away with as little fuss as possible and let history be her judge.
Thanks for posting a link to my petition.
It isn't a petition against the idea of her having a great big funeral, she'd get one anyway. There will still be a media circus, it'll still be a grand affair, it'll still be attended by every major head of state and some of the retired ones.
But a State Funeral will give her a different status in the history books, one which will not necessarilly reflect how she is thought of by those who lived through her time in office.
I say that we let those who want to celebrate her life, or her death, do just that. But we shouldn't bestow an honour upon her which will skew her page in the history books for future generations.
Bad as she was, she is now simply an irrelevance. What's done is done.
Don't let hatred for the Tories blind us to the fact that everything they wanted to achieve for their class, everything that they believed in and every unprincipled, uncaring, immoral tactic that they were prepared to use to those ends are all now embraced even more wholeheartedly by the Labour Party.

No Tories in Scotland Reg. The destruction of shipbuilding skills developed over generations and the Poll tax saw to that.
Now they vote for the SNP led by Alec Salmond who, as an ex head economist for the Royal Bank of Scotland, is effectively a Jock Tory.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
I love your name for her. The Devilwitchqueenbitch... name. Very colorful and so appropriate!
I've got a stock of red balloons ready to decorate the front of the house on 'the day'. I have had bubbly waiting in the fridge but I keep drinking it. Hope she doesn't die on a Sunday - can't buy liquor on a Sunday in Austin.
