She was to Reagan what Blair is to Bush.

2. "Milk Snatcher"
Bitch took away my school milk - I needed it when I was young.
It probably did me good though - it was full-fat, not semi-skimmed & who knows what it was being laced with

4. Just before she stopped it
I seem to remember it was in high demand from our local blue tits. Not really relevent.

The site made me smile. I have lost some of my hate for Thatcher a bit since being so sick of Blair ( maybe hate is finite and I had to release some for Blair.).

14. One can purchase
a T-shirt from the Sinn Fein website (A-grade grudge nursers if there ever was any) that says "I Still hate Maggie Thatcher"

9. I was happy that she snatched my school milk
They never refrigerated it at school and I just HATED drinking lukewarm milk, nothing like the "nice cold, ice cold" milk at home!

16. But not Sheffield Steel
I don't think she or the Conservative party will ever be forgiven up North for what she did to manufacturing. Small wonder the Tories these days are stuck in something of a home counties ghetto.

6. I want it to happen when I'm on vacation
so that I won't have my TV and radio use taken over by endless brown-nosing tributes. Diana died when I was out of the country - great, except I had loads of Americans trying to express their sympathies, and wondering why I wasn't emotionally distraught.

7. Well
"except I had loads of Americans trying to express their sympathies, and wondering why I wasn't emotionally distraught."

better than bean beaten by "The Honourable Friends of Diana" for not expressing grief "appropriatly".

10. LOL. Sounds like my plan for the chimp's demise
either by impeachment or the other.

I've literally put up a couple bottles.

11. Lucky you
I was trapped here and surrounded by a country that had gone mad with maudlin sentimentality, which also had a very nasty, McCarthyite edge. When a friend of mine decided he would keep his bookshop open on the Day of the Funeral, he received death threats!

12. DON'T DO THAT!!!!!!
I was just off to organise a street party when I saw your subject heading.

Broke my little heart when I realised it was a website, not a news item.

13. My first reaction was...
"Oh bloody hell, not ANOTHER big funeral!"

Actually it would make no difference if she were dead; I'm sure she would still pop out of the grave at intervals and axe some important public service to the sound of maniacal laughter. Iron takes a long time to rust, especially when it's so careful to avoid anything Wet.
