Well Si - I agree that Thatcher is no laughing matter - the tragedy is far beyond a joke - but as for the rest of what you say - my dear chap - surely you can't be serious, can you?
Just look at our country now, the social devastation, the poverty, the obscene wealth of the bankers et al , the part that the Murdochs have played and the relationship they've had with Thatcher and it's cohorts - really Si - look around this nation.
