And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

Erm, there is.



Unless you can prove that more than half of the nation approve of 'Thatcher Day', then I'd hazard a guess that, as usual, you are spouting shee-ite.

Personally, I reckoned if you polled the nation about it, the results would read something like this -

About 5% ( consisting of the blue rinse brigade who adored her and the odd crank like Ajw71) agreeing passionately with it.

A similar amount (people with too much time on their hands) being equally passionate against it.

The rest, the vast majority, will simply shrug their shoulders and find themselves asking why our politicians haven't got more important things to be doing, than going through the process of giving a bank holiday a title that most people won't acknowledge anyway.

War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Thank God I'm an atheist.

I don't think it is right to call a holiday after such a devisive character especially when there are people way ahead of Thatcher in the queue.
We could start a list .... if we are going for a politician ....William Wilberforce day.
The sky's the limit .....

Never said anything about this.

My point is about the numerous left wingers on this forum who hate Thatcher and believe that the rest of the country does too. This isn't the case as all the evidence suggests.

Still as Jerry Chicken's latest sound-bite goes 'If you BELIEVE it, it must be true'.

One might think that people would learn from past experience, then.

I know this is a forlorn hope, but can you name some of them?

Most people accept that there are some who love Thatch and some who hate here. I'm sure no one is daft enough to believe that everyone hated her.
