As I am sure you all know Maggie Thatcher died this week.

My immediate reaction (although very uncharitable and not at all dudely) was to sing "Ding dong the witch is dead!"

However it seems I am not alone in this train of thought!

What a dilemma for the new director of the BBC! :)

So was mine. Ain't that innerestin'? As undudely as it might seem, it's really hard to blame anyone for celebrating her exit. She and Ronnie Rayguns were the public faces of the architects of the destruction of the world economy that has caused great suffering in the past five/six years. Nixon would have done it himself if he hadn't got caught being a bastard, but it was they who got the ball rolling. It's hard to get all heart busted over the departure of one such as her.

I have mixed feelings about her reign....but none over her demise!

I was in the services at the time and she was extremely good to me. (pay rises, equipment etc, but then there was the Falklands!)

I come from a mining town in Scotland. (.nuff said!)  I am Scottish and that was where she introduced her Poll tax!

But then she allowed my mother to buy her council house and made it possible for other friends to start their own businesses.

Then there's her love affair with Raygun and Gorby....and the eventual fall off the Berlin wall!

So many ins and so many outs. I guess I think that overall she was bad for the common man and as all politicians are, was just out for herself and her kind in the end.

I won't be shedding tears but I won' be rejoicing either!

I don't have any feelings when any politician dies. Doesn't matter if they're left or right, liberal or conservative, or any of that.

They're all rich spoiled crooks.  :)

I totally agree with that statement!

As I've said before: Anyone who wants to be a politician should immediately be banned for life from being one!

It was originally supposed to be a burden on the one that served, but now it is all about that payday when you leave gov and become a lobbyist (USA problem).

Another thing the USA has exported to UK... just look at Tony and his committees and boards that he sits on... in fact any of our ex politicos sit on any number of boards and then there's the after dinner speech rounds!

It makes me vomit! :(

Yeah sorry about that bro.

Uruguay is looking pretty nice tho, they celebrate the day they kicked the CIA out of their country. Personal possession of pot is decrimmed, the amount that is considered personal is undefined, "dude that bale is just my head stash man".

Uruguay does seem a nice place to die. I've been looking at it myself.

OTOH, Colorado has legalized, at least to the extent we can keep Bronco Bomber's domestic terrorists out of our asses, and we seem to be making at least some headway in reigning in the oil and gas industry. Maybe other states will follow our lead on this here progressive agenda.  ;D

Methinks perhaps your system of accounting is way out of whack there, Dude.  ;)
