I think it's a long overdue acknowledgement of one of the greatest Political figures in UK politics of the last century.

The woman who turned the UK from being the sick man of Europe into a competitive trading nation again.....put the negative and divisive Trade Union bullyboys to the sword ....and found time along the way to show Johnny Foreigner that the British Lion still had teeth.

Not bad for a lass of humble beginnings, who lived over the shop in a small provincial town.

And for those sad deluded folk who have lived their lives vicariously through their support of Socialist Policies, which so spectacularly failed them, they can simply excercise their right to take a different view, and go to work on that day. Not at double bubble though.....that would be hypocrisy of the highest order.

For the Benefits Brigade, unless HMG organises some street parties for them, with appropriate plastic Union Flags to wave at the Media cameras, then it will simply be another empty day, which would merely highlight the vacuous existence of many of them.

I commend the idea to the House!


As she is the woman who's neo-liberal policies are at the root of all the problems we face today only someone as daft as those proposing this would write the above.

Even if you believe the tripe you have written and aren't trolling you would have to be an idiot not to realise it would be hugely controversial and divisive to do this.

Once again, its not an extra public holiday, its the august bank holiday that we're talking about.

They can call it what they like (not that this suggestion is anything but fluff and nonsense) I will still take my august bank holiday (unless I'm on call which I have a 50% chance of so being) and it will not be called anything but august bank holiday.

Why not call it poll tax riot day? Then the masses can have a bit of fun in the sun.

Re: Margaret Thatcher Day : Wed Jan 22, 2014 1:59 pm  
or Brixton Riot Day?
or Toxteth Riot Day?
or St Paul's Riot Day?
or Battle or Orgreave Day?

or just plain and simple "Thatcher's Civil Disobedience Day" - a day when people can riot iwith immunity from prosecution n memory of a great national hero and then get a new leisure centre in their locale. Everyone a winner - especially as there'll soon be no high street shops to loot.

I popped into the 3 acres pub in Huddersfield over the weekend only to discover a framed whisky bottle on the wall signed by Margaret Thatcher herself :SHOOT:

History, the truth and current state of Britain are obviously areas where you are/have been let down by those who tried to educate you.

It's sad really and even more so to know that there many more like you around who have been so badly let down.

Sadly the "UNIONS" are now controlling the country and Europe and not one of them is accountable to the electorate.
