Lady Thatcher

Post by Punx0r »

I'm sure Stef is already clutching his tickets for the premier of the Iron Lady* :D

*Apparently rated 12a (not suitable for miners)

It's also been proposed to give the old girl a state funeral. Which has given rise to this e-petition:

I'd love to see it brought up in parliament :D

I dont see why anyone other than the military should get a funeral paid for by the taxpayer.

Film looks a bit rubbish if im honest, but again no doubt it will win a load of British awards.

When I saw the title I was hoping it was an announcement saying she's dead :sorry:

Lulz, I'd actually thought it had already been out with the amount of promo crap I saw last year for it. Looks pretty uninteresting to me, the only biog films worthy of my dollar so far have been Chaplin and Patton, so another flattering historical export film designed for Oscars doesn't look like much of a contender.

As for the state funeral, I couldn't care less as I'd be too busy celebrating. Besides, I'm sure her ghastly family has more than enough money stashed away by now. How about another cringing one? Just think, if she gets a state funeral, so could Blair some day :scared:

I don't agree with her policies and she shouldn't of sunk the belgrano etc etc

But as a woman she kicked donkey boy big time in and had the yanks eating out her hands and Europe scared silly. You hear stories of her reading the riot act to the cabinet and putting them in their place.

Just for that I think she should be given a special place I history and a state funeral.

Blair should be in prison !

Don't think so! The only one still alive that I can think of would probably be Gorbachev. If you're speaking domestically, well pretty much everyone has shown their cards over the last couple of years and I'm not remotely impressed with anyone.

Cynics...

Going back a few years, Paddy Ashdown (he was a Para!)? Michael Portillo?

Vince Cable and Alistar Darling seem ok to me. Boris, obviously. I have my suspicions that David Cameron and Nick Clegg are both fundamentally OK chaps.

I'd happily buy any of them a pint and chat to them at the bar for half an hour.

I don't actively follow politics, but those are the ones that have popped up on the radar and given a good impression of themselves. I did read Vince Cable's book.

While is disagree with many of her policies i do respect her methods. She was a hard faced mother hen and got what she wanted, i just wish she had wanted something else.

The movie is 'ok', but Meryl Streep is awesome.
