Nope, it's a good song and no one should be arrested for it. Except maybe those two Chinese people, what the hell are they doing on the Isle of Wight anyway?

It's a brilliant tune.

As for Chinese chaps on the Isle of Wight, I've heard it's a lovely tourist destination.

Man, they get the number two economy in the world and they think own the place.

Thatcher has the flu

The man is on the ball when it comes to all aspect of foreign policy. I didn't know we've defaulted on our debt in the past, and I also didn't know we spend more aid on Muslim countries as opposed to what we waste on Israel. It's men like him that give me hope in this political system, and even if I differ with him as he's slightly a bit warmer to that private sector than myself, his propositions such as what he'd do with doctors and lawsuits are reasonable.

I'd rather have Gary Johnson tbh, less of a religious viewpoint and speaks even more sense without the slightly hokey Sons Of Liberty conspiracy theory stuff that Paul likes.

Neither will win the nomination, though, neither are articulate enough to appeal to the broad audience necessary or go up against Obama. Paul's age is a killer, too, and the same charge of extremism that was levelled at the relatively moderate John McCain because of Sarah Palin will be hung around Paul's neck from the go.

Don't you dare get people's hopes up now.

Apparently the Daily Mail has already started talking about her funeral arrangements and she looks like she's set to die next month.

So we can expect months of nonsense from both right and left, then? The left goes overboard in celebrating and the right goes overboard in 80s nostalgia? Each attacking the other over ridiculous nothingnesses? Wonder-fucking-ful.

I live in a mining town, I'll be really surprised if there are no parades throughout the entire county when she pops her clogs.

But that aside, some old woman dies, world trundles on regardless. Keep calm and carry on.

One more dead neocon, next will be Cheney.

I'm not a fan of hers but why the Thatcher hate?

Ummmm she was perfectly content with promoting policies that fucked up countless lives?

Unlike Marx und Engels.
Oh wait...


65 million in the People's Republic of China
20 million in the Soviet Union
2 million in Cambodia
2 million in North Korea
1.7 million in Africa
1.5 million in Afghanistan
1 million in the Communist states of Eastern Europe
1 million in Vietnam[4]
150,000 in Latin America
10,000 deaths "resulting from actions of the international Communist movement and Communist parties not in power"...

Those are just the deaths recorded. Let's not forget about the wonderful human rights and economic record of communism.

Marx and Engels theorized ideologies. Thatcher pulled the legislative triggers that ruined countless lives and fucked up the country.

We should just rename this the Trapt in a Banshee thread, heh.

Seriously, I hope Thatcher does cling to life, otherwise life in England for the 80% of people in the political middle is going to be hell. I can see the debate about whether she should have a state funeral now...

Scotland should be fun. I can't think of a more hated political figure here.

But those "theorized ideologies" resulted in disaster.

Maybe I should have just named Lenin, instead.

Take Stalin and we're there.

Although I'd say that Thatcher was worse because British people should know better, dammit! Whereas Lenin's people were a bunch of farmers, mistakes are to be expected.
