The OFFICIAL *** Maggie Funeral Thread ***

[Brian Fantana]

Regardless of her politics, her decisions and the undoubted divisions that she created, she was a mother and a grandmother. For those posting bile-filled drivel, just try and put yourself in the shoes of her family grieving her loss today. Imagine how felt/would feel when you buried a close relative.

Lost on you though, clearly.

One funeral is enough for me today RIP my Mum

RIP your mum
and good wishes for you on what is or will be a difficult day

according to the Guardian you could buy 16,949,152 pints of milk - enough to give everyone in London two pints each for the same as it costs to bury the old bag, or 60% of a Trident missile.

Security wouldn't cost nearly as much if there wasn’t a threat from idiots celebrating the death of an old lady.

Also, Labour started planning this funeral - in 2006. Blair loved Maggie.

**** her and **** you
How's that?

That is a disgrace and will hopefully be dealt with appropriately

Some of the comments on this thread are an utter embarrassment.

many are just little kids ( or men with little kids brains) who want to try and look big and clever in front of their mates....

RIP Maggie.

She made a lot of Northerners unhappy.

Isn't this the goal of the Albion each season many times a year?

There'll be babbling ranters from each side, neither knowing when to take a break, or listening to an alternative view. I'm anti-Thatcher to the hilt, but not to the body of a woman long out of power, and now out of life. I offer her no respects, but no direct ire either as there are always new villains to tackle with breath in their ungodly lungs to deliver some terrible treatment to people.

ok, thats fair enough..........but, and this is my last Thatcher post ever, whilst its great to take that viewpoint just hang on for a second and have a think about why some of us have become babbling ranters over the last few days, we might have a reason, a really really good one that does not involve MILK, MINERS, BATTLESHIPS, UNIONS, DIVIDING THE COUNTRY OF MY BIRTH, SELLING OFF THE STATE ASSETS ETC ETC (ALTHOUGH THEY ARE ALL GOOD REASONS) but might involve something much closer to home, something that had a direct result on a family members health, well-being, sanity, life etc............I won't go on.

I'm a sane, quite nice bloke in real life, lots of friends, blah blah but I reservethe right to have raved like a babbling ranter for the last few days because the policies that Thatcher and her government introduced pretty much fcked up a member ofmy family for a long time, and it does not matter whether it was an argie missile, a health cut spend, one of her thug coppers going mental on a picket line..................it happened. And if calling her an evil old witch and being glad she is dead gets me banned from this board, then just do it now.

The end.

That's rich coming from someone who has publicly stated that they hope to see some peaceful protesters killed today.

You are so typical of the mad-eyed, mouth-frothing, better-dead-than-red, ragingly paranoid little Englander Tory that Thatcherism inspired. Your numbers are hugely reduced, but there are clearly a few of you left, seething and spewing your hate and bile on anything and everything that does not agree with your warped worldview.

You have my pity.

What rubbish. Who exactly is "seething and sprewing hate and bile" here?

I assumed he was being self-deprecating. Then i realised he was serious

 

[El Presidente]

Imagine how you felt/would feel when you buried a close relative.

I know how I felt, but the feelings were in private, not in a revisionist jamboree from clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right.

 

[W.C.]

This isn't a funeral it's a thoroughly distasteful political event which is outrageously being funded by the taxpayer. It is beyond parody that such a divisive figure gets such a national send off.

Great leaders unify their country and bring people together with a shared sense of purpose, Thatcher did the exact opposite.

Her funeral should be a private one, for family, friends and colleagues who wish to remember, not some tawdry over-the-top triumphalist spectacle.

Exactly this.

 

[shingle]

Tens of thousands of people lining the 2 mile route, cheered and clapped and applauded all the way.

R.I.P MT

When my grandmother died we held a funeral which we paid for. I did ask Cameron for a contribution but he said it was unfair to expect taxpayers to contribute.

 

[hybrid_x]

so NSC has a political policy? Hitler bashing is ok on here, but Thatcher bashing not ok? i think he mods need to put up their rules on views on the world......

sigh.

That seems a sensible way to protest.

Ah, the old Hitler argument. Have you heard of Godwins law?

 

[Bozza]

Nope - just a "don't be too much of a twat" policy.

Yer man [MENTION=12740]pork pie[/MENTION]. Just a cursory glance down his posts reveals his true colours.

On protestors, no-one is lower than them, not even murderers or rapists: "They are simply worse than dog shit"

Commenting on someone hoping that protestors would be arrested: "This. Hopefully AFTER cracking a few of their thick sculls. Hopefully we will see a few die"

On the topic of people dying in an earthquake: "Oh well, shit happens. Hardly anybody for us to cry over is it?"

Hateful and bilious enough for you?
