The week
This week old Thatcher will be going down t'pit for the last time. What's gonna happen? Anyone actually give a shit?

What are you looking forward to/dreading this week?

Good news sporters
thanks to the changes in income tax, I will be almost £200 better off this year.

Yey for George Osbourne!

I appear to be £20 a month better off.
If this proves to be the case I shall set up a £20 direct debit to The Socialist Workers Party out of sheer bloody mindedness.

No skin off my nose.
I'm earning enough frankly, I do not need or deserve a tax break. I could give money to a charity supporting those disadvantaged by this budget, but that would just be propping up the government shortfall, so I'll look for the best political place to put it. SWP may not be the way to go, so I'll have a look around and see.

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 15 Apr 2013, 11:04, Reply)

I only give enough of a shit to think that everybody deserves some dignity in death
and the people who're celebrating are at best being deeply unpleasant.

Going to see Les Mis on Saturday. I am both looking forward to and dreading it.

Had a bit of a facebook row along these very lines
My opinion was the same as yours...an old lady with a family has died...bit of respect please. I was then accused of being a 'pathetic apologist' and 'a tory'. Point missed I think.
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Mon 15 Apr 2013, 10:53, Reply)

To paraphrase Thatcher herself
if they hate her that much, it means she actually made a difference. Good or bad depends on your perspective, but to be celebrating the death of a decrepit, half-deranged old woman is not at all cool.

I'm taking the day off to watch and wave a small union jack flag

I won't be watching any TV news this week
will be interesting to see if the whole thing rebounds on the Tories, though.

As previously mentioned
I'm a bit peeved that my bus route will be "curtailed or on diversion" even though it runs a good couple of mile outside the funeral area. Other than this, and London generally being a big whining nancy, I foresee very little of interest happening.

Looking forward to getting back on my bike and to some decent weather for a change.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Mon 15 Apr 2013, 10:52, Reply)

They are going to have a private cremation after the funeral.
She will rise from the ashes and shit on us all from a great height.

i only eat phalls because I'm manly, and a man
I like how they're really hot and taste of being really hot.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 15 Apr 2013, 11:29, Reply)

you live in a world of labels, fine wines and foods etc. Implicit snobbery and conceit at anything that doesn't subscribe to that world, and frequent banding of the terms pleb and peasant for not either having money, or having the correct brand or label.
Yeah that's definitely middle class middle England tory conceit if ever I've seen it.
( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Mon 15 Apr 2013, 11:29, Reply)

It's just as well that New Labour didn't end up so Tory
that it left the Tories reeling for want of some traditional Tory ground to stand on.

Otherwise Battered, the dyed-in-the-wool-working-man-made-good, might look a little silly.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 15 Apr 2013, 11:34, Reply)

yeah, it's not like new labour didn't jump on to the thatcher bandwagon and in many ways became more tory than the torys. Check out their continued deregulation of the city, refusal to reinstate union powers, and all that jazz
