They need her to put them out of their misery.

Jeremy Clarkson however begs to differ

I think she just wets herself and mumbles about Heseltine being a bastard these days.

shopping list

"Do we have a bottle of champagne in the fridge, darling?"
"No. Well, yes, but that one is so that we'll be ready when the evil bitch from Hell finally goes".
"OK, I'll get another one for tonight"
"But she might..."
"Then we'll have two".

pretty much the same as what the poor did for the whole of the 80s

Is that the worst CUK simile ever?

What Maggie did was expose the myth that socialism was a well meaning benign ideology. She showed that even the working classes were quite capable of owning property, getting a job other than working in the local pit, and that people did not need the state after all.

All the trendy so called well intentioned wealthy socialists with a gruddge against the Tory voting middle classes (driven by guilt and envy) no longer enjoyed any moral high ground by parading themselves as "caring socialists".

It is this latter group that even today cannot bear to admit that their prosperity is down to the reforms of the Thatcher government. These people have no moral high ground anymore. All they have left is a string of irrelevant side effects that they beat Thatcher with. The irony is that these people were purging their consciences by supporting the truly evil and destructive system of government that ultimately made it necessary for Maggie to come to power.

I know lots of working class people who owned property before Maggie and they did not work in t'pit or scam the dole.

Must try harder (D -)

Quite right, but her govt made the rest of society realise it.

Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you.
You filled your nappy , it stinks, and it's only half past two,
You want me to wipe your arse,
but I'm not even middle class,
Oh Maggie I can't take this any more
Mark and Carol put you in this home just to save you from being alone
You stole my Milk and thats what really hurt

Simple, when you put it like that.
