I never inferred that we should not have gone to defend the Falkland Islanders, my main gripe was that her government had just put a set of cuts that was going to decimate our troops, and many had their redundancy in their lockers. I agree our troops did magnificently under dire duress, what galls me Maggie glorified herself, if the Falklands war had not happened at that opertune moment, she would not have served another term in power. She was warned that the Argies were up to skulduggery by the then Falklands guard ship HMS Endurance, but what was her answer .....scrap the Endurance.

Apart from anhialating them with some really hi tech kit.

Where there is discord, may we bring harmony.
Where there is error, may we bring truth.
Where there is doubt, may we bring faith.
And where there is despair, may we bring hope.

0/4. See me.

And Scameron thinks he'll get away with a publicly funded funeral? He'll do well to take a leaf from the American book and lose the cadaver at sea.

**Anfield** · 08-Apr-13, 18:05

There is enough crap in the sea without adding to it. Burn her, in public so that we can all see that she has gone

**shazzap** · 08-Apr-13, 18:15

I don't like to speak ill, of the dead. But I won't loose any sleep over her death.

**Dialyser** · 08-Apr-13, 18:24

In my opinion she was a vile and vindictive person and one of the poorest leaders we have had.
However I don't believe in gloating over someones death, so will stop at that.

Why? That didn't stop her speaking ill of the dead after Hilsborough.

She may not have any respect. But I do.

Well this ex serviceman certainly does not, if the tory lot want her to have a semi state send off you lot should pay for it.

That's a good idea. Tories want a big funeral then Tories should pay for it. Not with my taxes anyway.

And now nearly every newsreader is wearing something black.

Who made that decision?

**macadamia** · 08-Apr-13, 18:47

I conducted a poll on Face Book, and included the Org in, to give a little Scottish flavour to it. Seeing the some of the shameful scrawlings above, I thought I'd share it with you here.

"De mortuis nil nisi bonum". I thought it would be interesting to gather all the comments from FB and other sites regarding positive and negative remarks so far regarding the late Margaret Thatcher, one of the most revolutionary UK and World politicians and stateswomen of her century. I even included comments as "negative" where the category should have read "product of a sick mind". Here, then, are the results of the UK Jury

POSITIVE 124
NEGATIVE 39
NEUTRAL 0

Statistically, this means diddley-squat. But I think it does indicate that even in death the most controversial PM of the last 100 years still commands a 76% majority.

Arthur Scargill, still alive, doesn't.

Anybody that was involved in the cover up of that awful, awful tragedy, most certainly does not deserve a "ceremonial" funeral.

No. It's an indication that she commands some support. Full stop.
