Thatcher in Hospital

[Phil D. Rolls]

Why are they telling us this woman isn't well? We knew that 30 years ago.

I had to hold myself back from saying good when I heard that news:wink:

I was listening to Five Live last week, when they were discussing whether or not she should have a State funeral. :greengrin

You should have heard the response in the hospital I was working in today. :greengrin

The sooner the better. I don't really mean that. (I do, I do).:wink:

Reminds me of the Frankie Boyle joke on Mock the Week when told that a State funeral for Thatcher would cost £3m.

"£3m??? For that sort of money you could buy everyone in Scotland a shovel and we'll dig a hole so big we could hand her to Satan personally".

[Phil D. Rolls]

Didn't Elvis Costello write a song in anticipation of the event?

[hibs0666]

Nothing too trivial I hope.

Got my dancing shoes polished and ready for the big occassion whenever it comes :partyhibb

Or the other Frankie Boyle classic:

"State Funeral? The only debate most people are having is whether she needs to be dead before we bury her."

Tramp The Dirt Down

Nope, I'm still struggling on this, how did it go?

[Killiehibbie]

Nope, I'm still struggling on this, how did it go?









I saw a newspaper picture from the political campaign
A woman was kissing a child, who was obviously in pain
She spills with compassion, as that young child's
face in her hands she grips
Can you imagine all that greed and avarice
coming down on that child's lips

Well I hope I don't die too soon
I pray the Lord my soul to save
Oh I'll be a good boy, I'm trying so hard to behave
Because there's one thing I know, I'd like to live
long enough to savour
That's when they finally put you in the ground
I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down

When England was the whore of the world
Margaret was her madam
And the future looked as bright and as clear as
the black tarmacadam
Well I hope that she sleeps well at night, isn't
haunted by every tiny detail
'Cos when she held that lovely face in her hands
all she thought of was betrayal

And now the cynical ones say that it all ends the same in the long run
Try telling that to the desperate father who just squeezed the life from his
only son
And how it's only voices in your head and dreams you never dreamt
Try telling him the subtle difference between justice and contempt
Try telling me she isn't angry with this pitiful discontent
When they flaunt it in your face as you line up for punishment
And then expect you to say "Thank you" straighten up, look proud and pleased
Because you've only got the symptoms, you haven't got the whole disease
Just like a schoolboy, whose head's like a tin-can
filled up with dreams then poured down the drain
Try telling that to the boys on both sides, being blown to bits or beaten and
maimed
Who takes all the glory and none of the shame

Well I hope you live long now, I pray the Lord your soul to keep
I think I'll be going before we fold our arms and start to weep
I never thought for a moment that human life could be so cheap
'Cos when they finally put you in the ground
They'll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down

Is she in a private ward or using the NHS?

[Bookkeeper]

I had to hold myself back from saying good when I heard that news:wink:

Aye, me too. Then I said it anyway.

[Hiber-nation]

Is she in a private ward or using the NHS?

Ehm....I wonder....

It's wonderful what that woman did to unite our country.

[heretoday]

All that we see happening now is her fault.

Homelessness - that's her fault too. Selling off council stock and not rebuilding.

Delivering people into the hands of ripoff landlords instead.

To hell with the woman.

Rupert Murdoch praises Maggie, and urges Cameron to stay the course on deficit reduction.
