No, I think we should take over the Mayfair townhouses and turn them over to the homeless.

Maybe stick em up outside the houses of parliament lest we ever forget what democracy is.

Hanged, drawn and quartered.

Gidiot crying has reminded me of Adrian Mole's poem to the tune of, "Just you wait, Henry Higgins":

Do you weep, Mrs Thatcher, do you weep?
Do you wake, Mrs Thatcher, in your sleep?
Do you weep like a sad willow?
On your Marks and Spencer's pillow?
Are your tears molten steel?
Do you weep?
Do you wake with 'Three Million' on your brain?
Are you sorry that they'll never work again?
When you're dressing in your blue, do you see the waiting queue?
Do you weep, Mrs Thatcher, do you weep?

I'm sure it could be adapted. He would have a much more expensive pillow for a start Grin

Audrina! Amazing.

KarlosKKrinkelbeim · 18/04/2013 21:14

Fecking Tories. Can't even cry properly. SCUM

None of the lunacy on this thread has any parallel whatsoever in RL. I can only assume the prepetrators aren't the sort who get out much, which is just as well for the rest of us Grin

ExitPursuedByABear · 18/04/2013 21:16

Oh the irony

MiniTheMinx · 18/04/2013 21:36

Yes thankfully the Tories have very little support in RL

KarlosKKrinkelbeim · 18/04/2013 21:37

Feeble, even by the previaling standards - though preferable to the mental health jokes, I suppose
But lefties, you know, they really care about people. So it's OK to make fun of mental breakdown, when they do it.

ReturnOfEmeraldGreen · 18/04/2013 21:45

OP, YANBU. Vileness, don't want to see any pictures of the fucker.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 18/04/2013 21:50

I've HAD a breakdown so I can laugh about them. That's how it works.

Br-br-br-breakitdown

expatinscotland · 18/04/2013 21:51

YANBU. He's a disgusting, stupid and vile excuse for a person.

hermioneweasley · 18/04/2013 21:56

You have no idea why he was crying. Perhaps there was a reading which had also been at the funeral of a loved one. Perhaps he was moved by the grief around him. I recently went to the funeral of a man I had never met. He was my friend's dad. And I wept. I wept for my friend who was in such obvious pain and I wept with anger and frustration because the next time they are in that church it will probably be for the funeral of his terminally son.

expatinscotland · 18/04/2013 21:56

I call him Gidiot, among other things.

ExitPursuedByABear · 18/04/2013 22:00

Hermione. Upthread several of us have said the same. You are not a lone voice.

LaVolcan · 18/04/2013 22:02

I've only seen the stills - there didn't seem to be all that much grief around him. As people have said, many people were there by virtue of the jobs they hold or held, so had no particular need to feel grief. Tony Blair and co? Why should they feel grief?

KarlosKKrinkelbeim · 18/04/2013 22:08

I realise the fact that yesterday's funeral passed off without the country being made to look stupid by the antics of people like you is eating you all up inside. But you need a sense of proportion. Not everyone shares your, erm, unique perspective on these matters. On yesterday's evidence, in fact, hardly anybody does.

YouTheCat · 18/04/2013 22:12

How do you come to that conclusion?

MissAnnersley · 18/04/2013 22:12

I agree hermione, said something similar upthread.

MiniTheMinx · 18/04/2013 22:13

I didn't celebrate the news and neither would I ever protest at a funeral. The fact is Thatcher lives on in the policies she pursued. Nothing changed just because some little old lady died. If the Tories were all there thinking it was the end of an era, then they really are as thick as shit.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 18/04/2013 22:14

Karlos is a Tory. Don't engage with it.

LaVolcan · 18/04/2013 22:16

Don't know how many people are on the thread but I would say that about 90% here think he's a t*sser. It's black humour at its best. It doesn't hurt him.

Now what a pity they can't make a special edition of Spitting Image. Gidiot would be forever crying buckets, Sam Cam would be dressed in frocks with oversized bows at the front a la Thatcher. mmm - what else? Could someone help me out?

It's such a welcome change from all the adulation about St Margaret.

YouTheCat · 18/04/2013 22:20

They could have Camoron in a Thatcher wig - I think he bears a striking resemblance. Grin

YouTheCat · 18/04/2013 22:20

And Pickles as a giant slug.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 18/04/2013 22:22

Nick Clegg would be a chinless gopher constantly being bulldozed by Dave.

Miliband would have a job on the side doing nasal train announcements.
