To spend my morning watching the funeral of Maggie Thatcher (on BBC) ?

She was our first woman prime-minister - a significant personal achievement, especially for the daughter of a grocer from Grantham, born in 1925 Shock

Also I agree with those that say these ceremonial occasions are something we do really well in Britain.

So AIBU to be watching this morning - in spite of disagreeing with many of her policies ? Will you be watching ?
And what do you make of both her personal achievement and her legacy ?

good thing Boris is hidden in row 8. He always looks ridiculous at everything he goes to.

I love Michael Portillo. Apologies to those who don't understand.....

Chartres bloke is really good. Striking the right note amongst all the controversy surrounding MT and funeral.
Hopefully Boston bombings have put everything in perspective.

"Increasing disability" that is so sad, such a sharp mind destroyed by strokes and dementia.

Chockyeggpants · 17/04/2013 11:35

I like Boris Johnson.

I love Boris.

Mark T has got some colour back in his cheeks.

Chockyeggpants · 17/04/2013 11:36

I like Portillo. When he lost his seat in the elections it was like he'd been liberated.

NotTreadingGrapes · 17/04/2013 11:36

Michael Portillo can be very witty with his little squashy potato face.

culturemulcher · 17/04/2013 11:37

surprized MT added Salmond to the guestlist.

I like Boris as well. (no Eldritch I wouldn't do him though, Feck, can you imagine)

Bowlersarm · 17/04/2013 11:37

Blimey-Alex Salmond there??

Horsemad · 17/04/2013 11:37

Love Michael Portillo's train journeys series on BBC2.

The bishop is very good. His message is lovely - about being loving and joyful with our relationships.

He wouldn't miss a chance to be a Statesman, Blolersarm but I'm surprized MT didn't have him on a No Chance Mate list Smile

EldritchCleavage · 17/04/2013 11:39

What? What? I never said anything!
