Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Look at teflon Tony lording it outside of St Paul's.

No thanks, but some of you "Con" supporters might get some pleasure.

Bishop of London's address was well worth listening to - very impressive.imo

Agreed - and on balance, I think the day was largely treated with respect.

Is Thatcher's carcass going to be buried or burnt?

This should appeal to a few on here of late :- Applicants wanted for a one-way ticket to Mars

Want to go to Mars? Dutch organisation Mars One says it will open applications imminently. It would be a one-way trip, and the company hopes to build a community of settlers on the planet.

Cremation Stan, though I think it is called 'a body' when related to humans.

The few banners that were waived had Socialist workers party printed across the bottom. No surprises then. The SWP rent a mob turn out at all the demos. It was their banners that were thrown at the police in Parliament Sq over student fees. It was the wooden poles of the banners that were used to spear and hit police at demos.Thatcher would have been pleased to see the socialists showing themselves up again.

Thanks H/C, In that case that is the least environmentally way of disposing of a carcass, .. but there again Thatcher cared little about that either of course.

why are you so bitter stan? ..... many brickbats can be thrown at all PMs, and even some plaudits, as is assuredly the case with MT

.

If it is peanuts, perhaps you should fork out for it.

Or, perhaps, the Party which practiced "treachery" when they deposed her should have a whip around and pay for the celebration.

Actually, I am glad Cameron arranged her send off.

Perhaps, the unemployed may get a few extra million, or perhaps the cash could have gone to help those who may go into debt because of the bedroom tax!

A blueprint?

Next staff to share chief executive's £2.4m bonus

Staff at clothing and household furnishings retailer Next are to get a cash payout after the company's boss decided to share a £2.4m stocks bonus among employees.

About 19,400 workers at the firm - those who have been employed by Next for at least three years - will receive an average £124 payout in July.

The GMB union described the announcement as a "PR gesture".

Yes well said Stan stand up to the public school boy whos had everything given on a plate from birth.

These people live in a different world from us.

Thatcher herself only wanted a moderate funeral.

This whole affair is Camoron making a political statement and like welfare trying to divide and rule the working class.

Saw a different side to Haystacks yesterday a helpfull compasionate guy. Not such a bad stick after all.

sticky - hope you read your e- .... it was intended very constructively so i hope you read it that way

gf
Thatcher never asked for a moderate funeral. She knew what it was going to be. It was decided under Blair.

never spoil a good story with facts

The ultra left such as the SWP and the Marxists hate Thatcher as she prevented a socialist revolution. When she came in the UK had more nationalised businesses that any non communist country and the militant unions were attempting to override the government.

Working class people not organisations hated thatcher. She looked after London and the south.
