1. Oh she didn't die soon enough to make her a saint like Ronnie...
Or the Brits at least knew BS when it started smelling...unlike some Americans with broken fucking noses.

3. For 3 million pounds
you could buy every man in Scotland a shovel and we'd dig a hole so deep we could hand her over to Satan personally.

Nobody does nasty biting humor like the good folks of the UK.

4. Well, since she says there's no such thing as society, the society needn't pay for her funeral

5. The state usually doesn't pay for ex-PMs' funerals anyway..
Edited on Mon Mar-30-09 12:24 PM by LeftishBrit
they're not heads of state like your presidents. Churchill got a state funeral, but that was exceptional; Attlee didn't, nor did Eden or Macmillan or Heath or Wilson or Callaghan. Why Thatcher is supposed to get one, I don't know! Maybe so that everyone will have adequate proof that she's buried suitably deep?

6. that treasonous old whore
sold out everything, including her class, her race, her country, her god, her planet and her soul (hey, that's ok!) just so the pig could get another roll in the hay!

7. Margaret
I remember when Margaret Thatcher was in Houston for an economic summit during the ´80´s. She was asked by an eager Houston TV personality how she liked Houston. She replied "ït's hot, it's humid and it's tacky." Gotta love the Brits and their sense of subtlety. She's probably complaining this very moment about the lack of ice-makers in Hell.
