I wonder what his expenses were like!

I thought she must have been dead already, considering they were discussing the whole state funeral thing..!!! I go around on a daily basis not knowing whats going on in the world...the closest I get to knowing anything is via Spooks. Very Happy

Haha! Laughing That was actually the plan to be honest. Well, at either about 4am tomorrow or early evening tonight and just camp outside or something. I will be desperately praying my CG gets me there.

raffles, you git. I was genuinely excited, right up until I read the link. I'm not the kind of person to typically wish death upon someone, but I honestly think that she's got an awful lot to answer for.

It'll be a red-letter day when that evil cunt does die. If there is any universal justice it'll go straight to hell.

I would happily tie that cunt to the back of my car with a rope and drag it ten miles down a motorway at 30mph.

If I see you enroute, should I stop and bungee your bike to the back, or drive past, hoot and wave??

She actually done the country a lot of good, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now if her succesors had the same thoughts as her.

1. Falklands.
2. WW2 lend lease agreements paid off early.
3. Stopped the unions having a stranglehold over the country as they did during the labour winter of discontent (978-1979)

1) Deliberately engineered the Falklands war when it could have been avoided, leading to the deaths and maimings of thousands.

2) Paid off lend-lease, squandered billions of North Sea oil revenue.

3) Strangled the unions, leading to the abuse of millions of workers by the rich and powerful.
