M Thatcher the right idea

"Mystical belief", I think that you need to get your medication looked at.

It's so, so boring hearing the views from people who can only express them with tinged jealousy.

Whether a guest or not, what's it got to do with anyone. Have you never had or used a personal relationship? No one can say they haven't down to the lowest form of social intercourse.

As for her husband, had any offence been committed, he would have had questions to be answered by the authorities.

Yet in both instances, they are dead, they are unable to defend themselves.

Red tinted specs make for such boring and jealous views.

Yawn

The jealousy meme's a bit tired, you know. But I suppose thick blue bottle glass lenses make that imperceptible.

Still, you should be able to do better than "Yawn".

Why people just cannot accept she did far more good for the nation,

Why should we accept your opinion?

Why should I accept yours? We all have our own. Some are educated in politics therefore don't rely on the Daily Mirror or socialist claptrap. I have said she did not just only do good, yet no one has read that.

Irrespective of politics and irrespective of former Prime Ministers we should all be interested in tax avoidance in these times of austerity. Why can't all the population buy their house via a company in a tax haven to pass it on without inheritance tax liability?

I don't expect you to accept my opinion.

By the way, my politics etc. formal education's Manchester and the LSE. I read all the broadsheet papers. I've known a number of fairly high-level political people. I regard people who talk about "socialist claptrap" -- except jokingly/teasingly -- as pretty uneducated, politically.

Your turn.

Dave & Co. started all of this off by recalling Parliament early to start a Conservative 'love in'.

His mates on the Telegraph and Mail haven't stopped in their fawning since.

Any dissenters (inc. the BBC) have had their characters assassinated in such a way that I sometimes think that we live in a totalitarian state.

If we don't agree with Dave & Co. ( and some on here) we are branded as Trots and Lefties.

Going to London on Wednesday yo see how my £10m + is being spent (although if this figure came from IDS it may be just a little wrong).

To be fair, Peter Oborne had a very good Telegraph piece attacking the funeral arrangements. But yes, there's considerable authoritarianism around now.

I intend avoiding the funeral coverage -- but you should report back here. :-)

By the way, I was surprised to learn the reason Cameron's reading a lesson is that Thatcher left instructions that whoever was Prime Minister should do it. And her wish is their command... .

Sir Mark Thatcher refused US visa, Sir Mark Thatcher refused US visa
The son of the former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher had hoped to be reunited with his family in Texas.

But he said on Sunday: "I shall make the family home in Europe, not the UK, and my family will be joining me as soon as arrangements are made."

Sir Mark, 51, was given a four-year suspended sentence in January.

It was *you* who suggested posters who opposed you were uneducated, not I. It was you who sneered at Mirror readers, not I. I did not call anyone uneducated, your statement that I did is untrue.

I could say "nice try" of your reply, but even that would be too kind

I have never asked one person to follow me. As for "opposed", hmmm, afraid I have never taken the line on this board about anyone opposing me, just a different opinion. I don't take that as being against in any way whatsoever.

Try weighing up whether the lady did more good than harm in a dispassionate way. Look at the mandate she won three times from the majority of the nation to do as the majority wished, then decide, or are you too blinkered.

I see this issue and the way people have reacted pretty much as narrow as Blairs premiership. If the disagreed with the Iraqi war, they don't see past that! Personally, I will never forgive Blair for the first steps he took in breaking up the UK. Labours arrogance was they never thought the Scottish Nationalists or plaid cymru to win power.
