Ding Dong...

It's been reported yesterday that Tony Blair has ruled out a state funeral for Lady Thatcher if she dies on his watch. This has apparently angered the Tories. May we remind this increasingly irrelevent political party that the only Prime Minister of the Twentieth Century to receive a state funeral was Winston Churchill. Churchill at the helm, stood up to Hitler, and helped the country defeat Nazi Germany, so his send-off was very well deserved indeed.

Why the hell does Thatcher qualify for one? gleefully destroying the miners? taking away milk from school kids? causing record unemployment? ruining the railway infra-structure of this country for ever? . I do not wish anybody harm, she can live to One Hundred and Twenty five for all I care but a day off to remember Thatcher, Get out of here, I would rather go to work for once.

With the greatest of respect to her nearest and dearest, the only national act of rememberence taking place, when she does kick the bucket should be a country-wide rendition of that song from The Wizard Of Oz....'Ding Dong The Witch is Dead..The Wicked Old Witch at last is Dead'.
