RIP Maggie Thatcher.

[A Century United]

Mods, why is it OK to use an insult when describing anyone that is left wing? I genuinely take exeption to that. Just because I am left wing doesn't make me:

A moron
Greasy
A tax dodger
Brainwashed

Just laugh, after all what tax dodging could compare to the efforts of Starbucks, Google, Amazon, and the other Free Market icons...?

I seriously believe something is very wrong about our taxes going towards a funeral FULL STOP

You'll be distressed to discover then that every year the government pays approximately £600m for funerals where neither the deceased's estate nor the relatives can afford it.

Mark Thatcher must be fairly minted as his business concerns are arms deals and arranging coups.

I think you mean Sir Mark Thatcher. You really must use the title he worked so tirelessly to have bestowed upon him. (Or should I say the one he inherited!)

Yes, he should have instead used the old Cash for Honours route given his wealth. Uncle Tony would have kitted him out with a title and a night with his wife for a few quid in the party coffers.

Well he is just listing characteristics, and criticising a sub group, not abusing all socialists. And people are entitled their opinion (subject to ensuring no racism, discrimination, illegal, personally abusive or defamatory comments). Complaint dismissed ;)

Thanks Mr Faraday. That point is well made.
