Will Thatcher's Funeral Pass Without Incident?

[Icy Gull]

Churchill was a knats cock from being thrown out in the early part of the war, due to incompetant decisions and lack of trust from the public, who in the majority disliked him. But some very good speeches and important successes in the battleffield ressurected his popularity and became, supposedly, the greatest
PM of all time........hang on a minute that sounds very familiar

He was dumped by the electorate at the first election after the war too, there's British gratitude for you

you would have to drag me there kicking and screaming .......but if it happened I would turn my back on her

I won't be paying too much attention to Mrs. T's funeral and hope it passes with out incident. She's history now, so move on. There are far more important issues in the world to get worked up about.

No doubt there will be some Charlie Gilmour-esque idiot who will try some sort of stunt. But TBH if some chinless wonder or chavvy oik wants to dance on her grave it will be a pretty cheap and insignificant gesture, deserving of contempt. The time to protest was when she was accountable at the ballot box, not now. This is a democracy, so make use of it.

Mrs. T. wasn't popular in all quarters and by no means my favourite politician but she certainly had balls and showed incredible bravery immediately after the IRA tried to assassinate her. So I don't think for one minute she'd get phased by a a bit of egg chucking, she'd shrug that off, no problem. In fact I could just imagine her giving some oik a good handbagging and carrying on. If only we had a few more politicians with backbone.

I expect the worst injuries we'll see will be burst blood vessels among some of the red-faced outraged Thatcherites

Na, not if her mates from the SAS get hold of some little scrotes trying to disrupt things. Are there still "Thatcherites"? I thought that Tony Blair was the last one?

 

[ferring seagull]

Probably not as there are so many 'uninformed' posters both on NSC but also in the UK generally !!

Along with a significant minority of folk I absolutely detested this woman.

I don't think the extravagant funeral is merited,but I'm delighted it's happening, even if it's thirty five years too late.

So I hope it passes peacefully and this divisive character can finally be done with.

Just don't try to enforce a minutes silence anywhere I am,because I would not observe it.

A few hundred midgets dressed as munchkins singing "the witch is dead" as the gun carriage rolls by would be the ultimate send off.

Undoubtedly I fear there will be major disorder from a bunch of mainly young people who if questioned would not be able to coherently explain why they feel the need to protest and what precisely did she do. In other words just a poor excuse for a day of public disorder and a ruck with the police.

And if anyone again thinks its clever to deface Churchill's statue they should be shot!

I thought she was absolutely fantastic for this Country. As I backed the winner, you can winge all you like with all the other loooooosers. I think that if there are any protests on the day, she will be happy, because she will get her lads from the Met to crack a few skulls in her memory, just like they did to the union filth all those years ago.

I fear the Thames barrier may need to be raised, to deal with all the ps*"ing predicted by all the loonies out there

You can chuck an egg from 100 feet away and still score a bullseye.

Chuck an egg at what? The lady will be in a big box.

The big box?

 

[St Patricks Day]

I'll be in attendance and if any of these gobby students start hurling abuse I'll be arrested as I'll give them a right good pasting. She deserves respect. All these people who held parties and cheered then I hope they have horrible deaths.

I disagreed with many of Thatchers policies, I thought ding Dong was vaguely amusing and I will not shed a tear on her passing. I have absolutely no interest in her funeral but am disgusted that apparently it's going to cost the taxpayer 10 million quid, money that would be better used paying nurses and doctors to save lives. However, that said I think anyone who disrupts a funeral, even if they despise the deceased, is the lowest of the low. I won't be in London on Wednesday, but if I happened to be in the area as the funeral procession passed I would watch in in a respectful silence.

As was pointed out on the TV, that is a drop in the ocean compared to the £75BILLION pounds of rebates she negotiated from the EU, let alone all the other money she saved by smashing the greedy unions.

Nope, it was actually on the left-wing favouring BBC. Still, don't let facts get in the way of a good dig at Maggie. Who ever heard about the EU rebate, it cannot possibly be true?

And don't forget that Tony Blair gave 70% back saying 'Why shouldn't we give it back, we're rich'

If there is a hint of trouble I shall set my hounds upon the perpetrators , as I am not now allowed to set them on the foxes
