Thatcher to be given a state funeral

[Uncle Spielberg]

Margaret Thatcher will be given a state funeral when she dies which means wall to wall TV coverage and moments of her political highlights and live coverage of the funeral.

This also means a public holiday like Diana.

Do you agree with this and what will you do on this day ?. Will you mourn or not.

 

[Frutos]

I'll ignore it entirely, I suspect.

 

[algie]

Proper tory.I will mourn her death

 

[Beach Hut]

Simply the best, a great leader in our time

Gordon Brown is not fit to clean her shoes.

 

[Happy Seagull]

I will enjoy the day off innit.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It'll be a Saturday, just like Saint Diana. If it's during the football season, will it disrupt the fixtures?

8 pages and I think the poll should have shown who voted what.

I voted option 2

Agreed. At least she had a spine whilst in power.

It can be turned into a drinking game at least if you spot any of the following

1 shot - a twat in full union jack costume crying uncontrollably
1 shot - every time she is mentioned as the 1st female British Prime minister
1 pint - a politician seen weeping
1 pitcher - the Queen seen crying

and so on and so one, ,make up your own rules

Not even a day off work Ed

'sake, I thought she was dead when I saw this, had my hopes dashed when I opened it

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Has there EVER been a prime minister who has been so hated?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The whole country will grind to a halt that day. Lots of bunting and union jacks around places like Lindfield near Haywards Heath with posters of Thatcher in the houses and shop windows, maybe a Thatcher themed village fete at the Church hall after a service for her.

Not according to NSC Ed, look at the stats.

I think it will be good to have a day of national celebration. Credit crunch issues can be tracked all the way back to her, amongst a multitudeother social problems

Scapegoat mentality, nice to know there's someone to blame for any shit that happens for the next 50 years.

One of the greatest comedy moments ever on tv that Brett, almost in the same league as Del Boy falling through the gap in the bar or Basil Fawlty whipping his car with a branch.
