dronester writes: What do you think of the millions of Brits who seems to agree with my sentiments? I don't believe very many people agree with "War criminal and enemy of humanity and unending supporter of the 1%. Rot in hell bitch." She was democratically elected 3 times. She was extremely disliked by those that suffered from the destruction of the unions but even more thought it necessary. But the vast majority who disagreed with her would not agree with those sentiments. I heard one of them ranting in that way on the radio, he was 24 years old and blamed her for the invasion of Iraq. You really had to be here in the 70’s to know what it was like.Life, don't talk to me about life - Marvin the Paranoid Android

dronster writes: Since I lived through the Reagan/Thatcher years, I feel I have a clue. Were you an adult in the UK during that time?
And I think "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" IS a similar WIDESPREAD sentiment to my "rot in hell Bitch" sentiment . . . You think a children's tune from the Wizard of Oz is the same sentiment as saying 'rot in hell, bitch'? I disagree. However, after enormous publicity, there have been only 10,600 sales so far - so there's a way to go to reach the 'millions' you claim agree with you.Life, don't talk to me about life - Marvin the Paranoid Android

dronester writes: I repeat, since I lived (as an adult) through the Reagan/Thatcher years, and their policies were VERY similar, I feel I have at least a clue. So you weren't in the UK when she was in power. You therefore have as much of a clue about living in the UK with Thatcher as I have of living in the US with Reagan. Which is zilch.
So if I showed up at your mother's funeral and started singing the song "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead", you would think I was merely singing a children's tune? Really? I'd think you were being a callous, unfeeling idiot, with no thought for the grieving friends and family and you'd be asked to leave. But if you started shouting rot in hell you bitch" I'd probably punch your fucking lights out. To coin a phrase.
Are you stating it only takes 10,600 sales to be automatically chosen for the BBC's chart-countdown radio show. Really? My mistake, the most recent numbers are:
Ding Dong! sold 52,605 copies, more than 18,000 of them since last Friday after controversy began to mount — 5,700 behind Need U, which had a weekly sale of 58,321. Anti-Thatcher campaign narrowly fails to take Ding Dong! to No 1 in charts | Margaret Thatcher | The Guardian
Tangle, so far you only seem to be criticising me because I am speaking ill of the dead. But perhaps there is more to your reprimand? So I'll ask directly . . . Do you think Thatcher was actually a good leader for Britain/world . . . Is Britain/world better off because of her policies? Yes, she was a very good leader for the UK - at least for the first two terms. The UK was a basket case run by corrupt unions. The power was off - literally. I didn't vote for her and I didn't agree with the Falklands at the time. But, in hindsight I think she was right; she got rid of Pinochet. She should have been stopped earlier though - the privatisations went too far. Edited by Tangle, : No reason given.Life, don't talk to me about life - Marvin the Paranoid Android
