...if you've already got an idea or two for subs in the tragic event of Baroness Thatcher departing this vale of tears at some point over the next few days.

offlineMemberI thought she'd died years ago and Fluck and Law had been keeping her 'animated'.
I, for one, will take to the streets to celebrate. In fact, I think my dad may even have a bottle of fizz set aside to toast that joyous day.
Subs? Not yet, but I'm sure this lady'll turn one out.Posted 2 years ago # -

offlineMemberWhen they carry her off in a box, Mr T.I. World, we ought to have a funeral hop-skip worked out so that we can go down to the BEEB's offices en masse and do something like a joyful River Dance outside, stopping traffic. Can't be ignored from the DG's window and all, like. Since you are already energised at the very idea, I suggest that you work out the steps and provide us with elements of choreography. We'll practice at home and train five friends each.
A training video on YouTube might help increase participation, and save many vuvuzelas from the tip.

offlineMemberBrilliant BPR. *****
If she's to have a State Funeral, then a Viking one would be quite apposite. Walküre-like in horned helmet and veils, she could be conveyed on a longship down the Thames headed out to sea, away from these islands and into International Waters. A sub or an Exocet could do the job nicely.
In fact, I like the image so much, why wait until she's dead?

offlineMemberSo which one out of you impoverished keyboard totting middle-class latte lot has suffered the most from Thatcherite policies since you left uni?
How many of you lot hate her because she denied you the opportunity to work down a mine or work in a steel foundry?
Which bit of Old Blighty would you most like to see return?
You might have come from a council estate but I bet you’re not planning on going back there any time soon.
Which lung disease would you most like to be suffering right now?
Will the next wave of Blairite inspired job losses, cuts, business closures, strikes, misery be any easier to bear?
Virtually ALL politicians are bastards – some bigger than others.
Thatcher didn’t fuck this country up all on her own. She had a lot of help.
In fact, everybody except me has done their bit to fuck this country up somewhere along the way.
I only do the lottery so that I can give it all away to good causes and charity - not like you selfish bastards.
YOU just need somebody to point the finger at and Thatcher Blue seems more politically leftish 'right on' than New Labour.
I might hate the toffs, the millionaires, the privileged, the upper-classes (that’s pure jealousy)...but I hate the self righteous fuckwit middle classes even more.
And while we're on, Which one of you twats keeps leaving a trail of litter wherever you go? I’m sick of picking it up after you. BastardPosted 2 years ago # -

offlineMemberWonder how many people who voted for her (more than voted for Blair!) are now jumping on the 'Evil Mrs Thatch' bandwagon.
If I close my eyes I can see Ben Elton's sparkly jacket...
Life was sooo much better under Labour; come back Jim 'Crisis, what crisis' Callaghan, all is forgiven.

offlineMemberJust to make it very clear - my hatred of Thatcher in no way diminishes my loathing of Blair. Ben Elton, of course, inhabits his own special plane of Hell...
And cheers, Scroat.

offlineMemberI think Gerontius is the voice of reason.
You just can't please the right on luvvies.
In the 70s, if you told a donkey jacket wearing university graduate that Britain would soon have a working class, northern woman as prime minister, you'd expect them to be happy wouldn't you?
If you told Wedgie Benn that one day London would be governed by a foreign-born Mayor called Boris, you'd expect him to be break into song.
But oh no, he spends all his time moaning.
you just can't please these Toffskies can you?

With her out of the way he should rightly take over the role as head of the Sith and train up a new apprentice Sith Lord.
Gerontious does raise an interesting point though - "What have the Romans ever done for us?" as the wannabe rebels say in Life of Brian. 3million unemployed and the Poll Tax vs mass share ownership in this case.
