  • Wow. Harsh. Somebody died. You might not like him, or the Royal Family, or any of the UK’s constitutional arrangements, but as my granny was fond of saying “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”.

  • The trouble with this sentiment is that you would only ever hear good things about Hitler, Stalin or Thatcher

    If you can’t think of anything nice to say about a person, even if they are dead, maybe that’s OK. Say something not nice.

  • Ah, 9 hours to reach Goodwin’s Law and a vague moral equivalence between Prince Phillip vs Hitler and Stalin. (Despite Thatcher’s failings, I don’t see how she can be put in the same category).

    This should be in the epic WTF thread!!

    As a republican whose family were miners in the '80s I'm no great fan of Thatcher but I do have some sense of perspective for gods sake. This stinks of some look at me desperate attention seeker flopping his dick on the table shouting look at me I'm on the right side of history!

    Thatcher (and then Heseltine and Major), put my brother out of a job, but I wasn't amongst millions of Brits who woke up one morning wondering where the fuck he was, never to see him again!!
