Re: Stop Thatcher having a state funeral

Hmmm... I guess you and I must mix in very different circles then. Everyone in my family hated her, always. Admittedly, I grew up in Surrey, which is Tory heartland, but by the end of the 80s even the Mole Valley constituency which had been a Conservative stronghold for over 30 years had begun to swing to towards the Lib Dems. I also vivdly remember seeing a group of people on the infamous 1990 Anti-Poll Tax demonstration carrying a placard with "Former Tories against the Poll Tax" emblazoned on it.

I do know a couple of people ten or more years my junior who think she was the bees' knees though. In answer to them, I always remind them she said "There are in the Khmer Rouge some very reasonable people and they will have to take part in any future government in Kampuchea".

Ruskie-hating Cold War demagogue endorses uber-Communist killing machine? Ironic, innit.

No wonder her and Pinochet made such a lovely couple. If she'd been born into another culture she'd probably have been him.
