There has been talk of a state funeral for Maggie Thatcher.

What is Gordon doing these days?

Watching, juvenile delinquents ruin the country., with their friends keeping their noses in the pig troughs

Have a good XMAS or equivalent ritual.

Slightly bad taste - they should at least wait until she is dead!

I was in the bath and I heard a discussion on R4. One view was it would be divisive as a few people didn't like her, although I find that hard to believe. But then Churchill had a state funeral and he was hated by quite a few people. The program did point out that her greatest acheivement was changing the Labour party into one that believed in the free market economy. I am not sure I would go that far. It is evident that Ed Millipeed is heading to the left, which is fine by me as it makes Labour even more unelectable.

So Thatcher is responsible for New Labour , if it wasn't for her there would be no 13 year's of Blair and Brown , does Fred know.

Margaret Thatcher deserves every honour – apart from a state funeral

I would think a good place to bury the "lady" would be under a slag heap in Durham.

=======================

Don't worry, Ed or Dave won't go too far to the left. Just a little financial regulation and tightening of the screws on oversea tax evasion should be enough.

=========

That is if Cameron and Porky haven't left behind a Banana republic.

New Labour, was as corny as UKIP and I would like to see Blair in the Court of International Justice at Hague.

But, I believe there were many tory right wingers and UKIP supporters on this BB. who were whooping for joy at the beginning of Bush's and Blair's Iraqi adventure

Hello Profit Takers,

Also on holiday, but not in India thankfully -):

"There has been talk of a state funeral for Thatcher." Really?.. Didn't know it was dead.

Hey! Have a look at several pictures of these rare 'lenticular' clouds which were seen in the sky over Holmfirth, near Huddersfield, West Yorks.

Rubbish!

You can't kid me.

They are flying saucers.

Elephant's sixth 'toe' discovered

A mysterious bony growth found in elephants' feet is actually a sixth "toe", scientists report.

I know its Christmas, but really..... Pink elephant is caught on camera

It is a mysterious ball that looks like a prop from a science fiction film - and nobody can explain where it came from.

Police have been left baffled after a strange metal sphere fell to the ground in a remote area of northern Namibia, Africa.

It weighs around 13lbs, has a diameter of 14 inches and its rough surface looks like ‘two halves welded together’, said police forensics director Paul Ludik.

That's good way of keeping people busy. Certainly better than phone hacking, no matter if true, wrong or manipulation.

Do you rely on the newspapers anymore?

The Dutch finance ministry has given its support to Britain’s efforts to prevent a financial transactions tax being imposed across Europe.

A report commissioned by the Dutch treasury lashed out at the European Commission’s belief that such a levy – often called a Tobin tax – would discourage risk-taking.

Pinched from another site.

I would like to share an experience with you all, about drinking and driving.
As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the years.
A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends and had a few too many beers and some rather nice claret.
Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before - I took a bus home.
I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise, as I have never driven a bus before and am not sure where I got it from?

Happy Christmas
