I imagine there will be more than a few celebrations tonight.

Thatcher?!  I don't even know 'er!

RIP. You were a badass.

Honestly thought she died years ago.

Just a few

I'm no expert but...: I imagine there will be more than a few celebrations tonight.

Because she has moved on to a better place?

The Tony Blair of the Reagan years.

Bye, now.

She had quite a life, certainly an exceptional human being.

At least her spiritual successor is still here to guide us.

it's time for that Thatcher Death Party then, I've been waiting a LONG time.
Back in the 90s I think consensus was that we'd all just congregate in central London and go crazy, but since then the Met have shown they don't really stand for that sort of thing so much. According to Google the party is 6pm the first Saturday after the event. I assume that London will be very much on lockdown this weekend now.

I think Lemmy best sums up my feelings on this matter.

The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money.

That's not the case with militarism, though.

Buhbye

I know shiat about UK politics but I do know that all my punk rock friends thought she was a vile, evil creature who worked in cahoots with Reagan to advance policies that I would have abhorred had I lived there.

May her ideas die with her.

I am reminded of Frankie Boyle:

"Her state funeral is going to cost nine million pounds. For that much money, you could buy a shovel and give it to every single Scottish person and we'd dig a hole deep enough that you could deliver her to Satan personally."

Huh. I thought she was already dead.

Wait... Margaret Thatcher was still alive? I thought she died like 15 years ago.

We're on our second bottle of champagne in this household.
Good riddance & a heartfelt fark you for what you did to our country.

I had a Thatcher boxing puppet many years ago. Whether you agreed with her politics or not, she was a tough lady.

greentea1985: I have a feeling very few parts of England will go into mourning, most will be celebrating.

bye, you nasty old biatch

Like her or not, she helped precipitated the fall of the Soviet Union, which was far more evil than any of her policies. Rest in peace.

nekom: A huge force in history, whether you liked or hated her politics.  May she rest in peace.

I won't be crass. I'm from another country and I was a child at that time, anyway. But her kind of divisive, inhumane politics influenced even my fair country.

RIP Kreacher

I don't recall the USSR being particularly evil towards the British populace, you know, the people that old harridan was meant to be representing...

They were falling without her help, most of the threat of the USSR by that point was mis-intel by the CIA.

Libderp ludicrous speed!

lmao

Just wait until she rises again three days from now, just like Zombie Reagan.

Marine1: Like her or not, she helped precipitated the fall of the Soviet Union, which was far more evil than any of her policies.

No, she didn't. Neither did Reagan.

And with Putin and the like still in charge, it's kind of hard to make the case the the Soviet Union really "fell" very hard.

I did not see that coming.

GoldSpider: I expect this thread will contain the usual amounts of dignity and respect for the recently departed.

Jackson Herring: What a shiat she was.

Right again.

Thatcher is never going to sleep with you bro
