Re: Margaret Thatcher
I was interested to read today that Len McCluskey the leader of Unite the country's largest trade union has been re-elected despite winning the support of less than one in 10 members 1.5 million members..he won 144,000 votes.Methinks instead of cracking open the champagne, joining the internet lynch mobs or downloading a pretty poor protest song to celebrate the death of an 87 year old woman, these so called socialists would have been motivated to get up off there arses and show their support to a Union that pumped £7million into the Labour party's coffers over the last two years. ;)

As Thatcher wouldn't have been watching the TV but would have relied on other officials to keep her informed I'm of the opinion that she wasn't given the full facts. I know the families say she knew everything but it's only decades later that we've learnt of cover ups. |

Just heard the good news ... coverage of the planting begins here at 5:00 am ... makes it easier to avoid.:mosher: Canada's version of Thatcher, Brian Mulroney, will be attending. And here's how Canadians responded to his leadership in 1993:

Her legacy can still be seen today, good & bad dependent on your outlook, that won't change no matter the outpourings pro or contra about her. Tomorrow, an old woman will be getting buried with a certain amount of pomp & pageantry, the fact that she was Britains first female Prime Minister & a very divisive figure in life & even now in death shouldn't really matter. We can't change human nature, so what will be, will be. |

She should have been led in State..............Middle of the Thames, so all the tories could march past to pay respects.:D
