fairyworld14 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Oy MisterM Don't be naughty & bring my craft into this argument by talking about Thatcher in the same sentence as Halloween. I will have to fly on my broomstick & slap you on the bum . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buck Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Not publically in practically every major city. I agree, I mentioned it merely to demonstrate the very real hatred that literally millions of people have for her. Sorry but that's just nonsense, symbolism is important. They only want to have a day to **** of lefties anyway, it's very petty. If Margaret Thatcher wasn't hated so much by the left then the right wouldn't adore her half as much. It's all very childish and petty. It would not have been good for your health to publicly celebrate MLK's death in any city in America, not even in Birmingham, Alabama, or perhaps especially there, and rightly so. While we have not yet come to the top of the mountain totally, we are much closer than we've ever been before. My grandson just married an African American girl. Welcome to the family, Brenda.

Bypassblade Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Only if you are an idiot ex miner who lives in the past. So miners are idiots for fighting what they believed in, I really cannot understand people like you methinks you're the bloody idiot. Why should anything be done to commemorate that evil cows memory, it is an insult to other great politicians and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteowl Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Q: now that everyone in employment has copious paid holiday weeks, why are there Bank Holidays at all? I suspect the people who get minimum holidays (20 days + 8 BHs) would gladly have their work holidays upped to 28 days so not have to waste 4 of them on random Mondays and another 4 on religious holidays when everyone else is off. As I get slightly more than that (not much !) I would rather keep this system, although I do seem to end up working a lot of the Bank Hols anyway. As for naming it Thatcher Day, I can't think of a more fitting tribute to her legacy than telling people not to bother coming in to work on Monday (shamelessly stolen comment ! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Tamudo Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I read this book again recently. http://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Such-Thing-Society-History/dp/1849019797/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1373392626&sr=1-1&keywords=no+such+thing+as+society How ironic would it be if society celebrated the life of a woman who thought society didn't exist?
