I've said it before and I'll say it again, if she had been PM over the last 10 years we wouldn't be in the crap that we are now.

Soamesy - How precisely do you think things would be different, taking into account the fact that the entire Western world is in the same crap? Do you think, for example, that we wouldn't be facing cuts or the marketisation of the NHS?

Bank Holiday sounds great - should be EVERY year though, AND another reason for bonfire in Lewes - certainly another day that needs to be remembered
Could we do it twice a year???????

Seems like there may be enough of us in Lewes to hire a coach for the trip to the "dance on her grave" party, when that glad day comes.
Mind you, even she left the railways and the NHS alone.

Alas, the Thatcher clan, already aware of the length of the queue of people who want to dance on her grave, have chosen to have her cremated and ashes spread at an undisclosed location. I'll be buying drinks for anybody who'll join me in a 'ding-dong the witch is gone' salute in my local.

if they don't want a grave that can be danced on then she could be quartered?
having said that is decimating public services - especially housing (conning us into buying our own houses (council tax, insurance, mortgage, protection policies, rampant utility bill escalation) AND now loads in negative equity (WHAT kind of phrase is that?)) - grounds for treason anyway?

@Expat two. I'll join you in "Ding-dong the witch is dead". Perhaps a large conga around town would be good too. @Trueblue, don't worry I'll be saving some wee for Blair and his one eyed slack jawed chancelor as well. In fact i think i may have to start storing the stuff because I'll run out before i've finished with all the "Honourable ladies and gentlemen" of the political elite who deserve nothing less than a good soaking

It won't come as any surprise to know that I'll happily join the conga round town.
Mickyboy, that comment of yours actually sums up the Tories' problem (and by extension the right wing press). We are a small and fairly insignificant island off the mainland of Europe with ideas about our nation which are completely out of kilter with reality. We no longer have an empire, although the widespread use of English is a hangover from those days. Our manufacturing base has collapsed and our fossil fuels exhausted. Our brightest young designers go abroad in search of work because industry seems content to go on making tat.
On top of that, the creative industries (film and television production for instance) are one of our greatest exports, yet that has fallen victim to meddling politicians who are busy wrecking that too.
So let's stop talking nonsense about Britain being great and lets stand up for the institutions, industries and traditions which actually did once make us special. We won't do that by p!ssing off our European partners and failing to deal with the excesses of the financial sector, or for that matter by picking fights over oil...

"like her or loath her, she has to be admired" - Does this mean we haver to admire the Tory filth who's quoted as saying "The Newhaven incinerator was his proudest achievment in office".
Actually 'Tory Filth' sounds like i lean to the other side. No chance, they are all self serving, lying weasles and deserve nothing but abuse from the people they regularly throw to the dogs for there own personal greed.

Thatcher wisely did something not all of us can do before embarking on our chosen career - marry a millionaire to ensure the bills are paid. I remember her famous quote when someone said how low student grants were (in the days there were such things). She said, 'Carol managed quite easily on hers, though of course we did help her out with things like her ski-ing holidays.'
On 23 Dec 2011 at 10:19am Clifford wrote:
There's a very interesting piece in the Telegraph on why Thatcher should NOT have a state funeral, by one of her strongest admirers.
'It is nearly 50 years since Sir Winston Churchill died. When the boat containing his coffin passed through Docklands, London dockers lowered their cranes as a mark of respect. It was such a profoundly moving moment because these working men were saying that, while Churchill had been born an aristocrat, he was also one of them because he had led them in the war against fascism. I wonder how many of those dockers would have paid such a tribute to Margaret Thatcher.'
