Its just a pity that the election in Question was the 1992 event when John Major was the PM,;) mind you our John had a way with women didn't he:D

You don't know why the ordinary man in the street vote Tory, its quite easy really Herold (this won't effect the pound in your pocket)Wilson, Jim (Crisis what crisis)Callaghan, Tony (whiter than white government) Blair, Gordon(useless) Brown, were as much use as a one legged man at an arse kick contest, in terms of running the country ;)

Re: Oooh, I like a good funeral.
 

I think we need to agree to differ here Jaysay, I'm coming across as a far left wing socialist which I can assure you I'm not!
But I stand by my comments about Margaret Thatcher and her government.

Now please.......and don't be offering to dirty the clayton cut....I live right next to it....don't want such unpalatable debris floating about on the top, thanks!

Re: Ooooh, I like a good funeral.
 

Sorry about that. You are right. And I suppose they cleaned up the River Stink ... no sense re-polluting it.;)

An aside: when I was at the University of Saskatchewan the authorities had problems with John Diefenbaker's grave on campus. Seems like after the usually friday nite beer fest at the Louis Riel pub, students were performing minor desecrations on his grave. I think that urinating, defecating, and vomiting sums it up;):D They moved his mortal remains to a resting place in a more right-wing, red neck area.:cool:

Re: Ooooh, I like a good funeral.

Re: Ooooh, I like a good funeral.
 

True, Cashy, point taken.

Re: Ooooh, I like a good funeral.
 

hang on the river stink has been known by a different name ?

Re: Ooooh, I like a good funeral.
 

To get back on thread a moment - from The Guardian clip quoted above:

"The Queen had decided in 1963 - when Churchill was already too ill to attend the ceremony where President John F Kennedy made him the first honorary citizen of the United States - that it would be a state funeral, the most spectacular since the Duke of Wellington's more than a century earlier."

Who has decided now that Lady Thatcher should have a State funeral -is it still The Queen's choice or is it in the hands of politicians?

I would love to have been a fly on the wall back in their weekly meetings, somehow I can't imagine them getting on:rolleyes:

Re: Ooooh, I like a good funeral.
 

Thing wi Churchill, although a Tory n in peacetime wasn't a great leader, didn't hear many,if any, dissenting voices to his funeral. I wonder what the difference could be?:rolleyes:

Re: Ooooh, I like a good funeral.
 

Well you have to admit cashy Churchill and Thatcher had something in common, they were both good at kicking the germans backside:D
