Got an invite to the tory club private viewing of the Thatcher film. AIBU to want to go dressed as a miner?

[Nevergarglebrandybutter]

The thing is, I've judged things wrong before but I really want to.

AIBU?

I'm not in the tory club before you ask.

Yes.

If you feel that strongly, don't go.

Ohhh, please go dressed as a miner. PLEASE!

And take a carton of milk with you.

You could be more subtle and go as Arthur Scargill with the ginger comb over.

Invite Tommy Sheridan as a guest.

lmfao at the thought of a miner turning up with a carton of milk. Oh please do it - and video it ;)

Dress properly. Margaret Thatcher did a tremendous amount for this country and it was so much bringing the Great back into Britain that there was talk of a state funeral when ..........

If you're not a Tory girl why would you go to a Tory club?
YABU to contemplate being seen dead in the place going.

Who else read that as mner?

I would go and be respectful to your host even if you don't agree with what Thatcher did, or not go at all.

there's no chance the others there might just find it amusing too?

i know, i know.
i will decline the offer.

I'd have found it amusing...

But then I'd probably have been there for the same reason...

i would have a lunchbox and a headlamp.

Oh don't decline the offer. You will see them in their natural habitat (the Tories) and be able to report back.

And if you did go dressed as a miner, well, that would be just perfect

I find it amusing.

I'd find it amusing too. But I wouldn't be in the Tory Club.

We need some tame Tories to poll.

Don't. Its not suitable for miners.

arf

Oh do go dressed as a miner and start up a chorus of "Maggie, Maggie, Maggie ;Out, out, out!" Please.

YANBU to want to go dressed as a miner but incredibly ill mannered if you do. If you have such strong feelings why are you a member of the Tory club.

Actually they may take it as a mark of respect because the miner's strike was a huge victory for Mrs Thatcher and allowed legislation that favoured the unions, who had up until that time held the country to ransom and contributed towards bringing primary industry and manufacturing to its knees.

but which miner? UDM or NUM?

What a lot of posters here with no sense of humour, no-one would surely actually do this! It would be rude regardless of your views on her.
