Is Margaret Thatcher Really Dead?

By Olive Onion


Is Margaret Thatcher Dead?

There's a new motion afoot, it's called 'Margaret Thatcher Dead'. Whether it's political or simply social, is uncertain. Ms Blythe, of South London, has been rallying fellow militants to commemorate her new motion, Margaret Thatcher Dead.

She has set up a Facebook group, calling it 'The Witch is Dead', a subsidiary group of Margaret Thatcher Dead. This group already has over 5,000 members and calls for "demonstrations of disapproval" across the country. I am not sure what she means. Is she asking us to disapprove of Margaret Thatcher slipping out of her mortal coil, all too easily, and without a hint of hard labour?

Ms Blythe is nothing if not efficient. She has enumerated a list of specifics on Facebook, joyous riots that took place in Bristol and Glasgow.

The University of East London graduate teaches dramatization and arts and specialises in workshops for the young. She is especially keen on criminals and explores dispute resolution with dramatization. I myself know of other methods, however dramatization is a longstanding favorite.

During a"flash party" to mark Lady Thatcher's passing, she gave out the call: "Anyone else like to join us?"

It reminds me of an Irish funeral party. Very jolly.

However the poor lady is deluded. Her Facebook page reads: "Come and celebrate our liberty and liberty from tyranny! On the day Maggie stands down, at last!".

She says her father was a leftie and her mother was a Thatcherite. She said she is merely celebrating the demise of Thatcher's policies, rather than the mortal being herself. It's a time to reflect, Ms Blythe said, in these more prosperous times.

It's not about gloating and being mean. It's about using that date to reflect on the past, however unfortunate that day may be for some people

Quote: I'm calling for a peaceful demonstration of disapproval and letting the Government know we're not stupid and we haven't been brainwashed by more prosperous times since then

It's all good, because this is a 'group catharsis', for "survivors of the Thatcher years" those suffering from post-thatcher traumatic stress disorder, a recognised disorder.

And in case you were considering having a jolly in town on Saturday, be warned. 25 locations throughout the country, are being organised by Class War, with the help of various other companies such as the All London Anarchist Revolutionary Mob, which is naturally "dedicated to radical action to undermine the state".

Ian Bone, of Class War, said that an effigy of Our Lady Thatcher will sit on the fourth plinth in London's Trafalgar Square, which has been suggested as a site for a possible statue for the former prime minister.

Quote: There's a large papier-mache statue of Thatcher being done that will be toppled. It will be similar to the size of the Saddam Hussein one. We want to celebrate the end of Thatcher.

Scotland Yard has launched a major counter-offensive. Naturally, all officer leave has been canceled, something of which I am sure Lady Thatcher would approve.

I wasn't intending to go, but with all of this drama, I may pop Sheeba in her blue box and meander to Trafalgar Square to witness things.

Naturally, Thatcher is not dead yet, not while she's getting all this promotion. She relished promotion, old Thatch, and the last time I looked, the Tories were still half-running the nation.

Oh my.
