Controversy over the cost of the funeral; William Hague to the rescue
The cost of Lady Thatcher’s funeral next Wednesday will be revealed afterwards, but the Daily Mirror has estimated it could be as high as £10m. The taxpayer is expected to foot most of the bill, with the Thatcher family agreeing to make an unspecified contribution.
Foreign Secretary Hague said Britain could “afford” to cover some of the costs. Read full article

QFF! ¬_¬
@1 £10 million is nothing. Even for CFK, who steals that amount regularly. Let's see, £10 million is the equivalent of 16 pence person. Easily affordable. Although, in argieland, that would be like 2 days pay.
Apr 11th, 2013 - 07:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@3 Really? Bearing in mind that it's all faked, CBT and torture movies can be quite fun. But I would draw the line at something really revolting such as you suggest. Just think about all the “add-ons” dropping off. The tennis balls bouncing down the stairs. The Black Holes of Buenos Aires. Both of them. The peeling plastic. The fungus. Yuk!!
just privatise the whole ordeal......
Apr 11th, 2013 - 09:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maggie-style?
16 pence per person? Sure conqueror, sure....
the ones in Glasgow, Brixton, and north east england will be very keen on paying, right? What a tool (and an idiotic one you are at that)!
I think I saw a flag in Glasgow with the words “Rust in Peace”
sure, they'll agree with 10 milllion *facepalm*
The answer's in the headline - EU rebate. Bosh - job done!

Boy how you Argies hate her,
But please, facts only
1, she beat you,
That’s the only fact that Maggie did to you,
All the rest is purly hatred from these who knew her not,
After all losers always try to claim the high ground,
Either way you lost, get over it.
.
Just make a hole and drop her in it, that will be cheap, especially if bald Hague is in charge to get the job done.

1. She symbolises the lack of generosity and kindheartedness of a certain brand of entrepreneurial Protestantism.
2. She symbolises cheap and dangerous patriotism at the rotting end of empire.
3. She symbolises the victory of ill gotten gain over profits from hard sustained labour.
4. She symbolises the destruction, by fair means and foul (but mainly foul) of workers rights to defend themselves in the workplace.
5. She symbolises the spread, like a virus, of the destructive ideology of the Chicago school through all the establishment's forums from Davos to G8.
6. She symbolises the military industrial complex and Mutually Assured Destruction, with Reagan taking us to the brink of war with a first strike policy she supported.
7. She symbolises the loss of Britain's position as a leading industrial power.
8. She symbolises the way British people became defenseless against exploitation, with millions of people in the British living increasingly off shitty low paid part time jobs.
9. She symbolises the victory of identity politics over social justice. A woman presiding over the impoverishment and oppression of a whole nation.
10. She symbolises the loss of national sovereignty to the United States, with US listening stations and military bases dotting the archipelago.
11. She symbolises the cultivation of the council house buyers, the I am alright jack fuck you brand of Britishness and the end of affordable council housing.
12. For Thatcher there was no such thing as society because she was busy her best to destroy it. Especially in the North of England.
13. Thatcher symbolises the end of One Nation Tory-ism and the beginning of an even more horribly divided set of islands.
14. Thatcher symbolises the victory of the watery dark selfish mean spirit of many British people over their tolerant generous kind better selves.
15. She symbolises the defeat of Argentina.
Apr 12th, 2013 - 02:53 am - Link - Report abuse 016. She symbolises the ongoing wasting away of Argentina's defence forces.
17. She symbolises democracy over despotism.
18. She reminds Argentina's government every day on their powerlessness.
I like this game Helber.

Apr 12th, 2013 - 03:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0And of course she was immortalized when she took the free milk away from poor children as Thatcher the Milk Snatcher.
That last should be her political epitaph.

Apr 12th, 2013 - 04:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0and the lowest bidder will be backed up by the “people's government”, through bussiness friendly tax incentives (code word for, don't worry the chumps will pay you can jack up the bill) and if it goes wrong, we the “people's government will declare you to ”symbolic“ to fail.
”She privatized everything. Except the public debt, that one stayed public...”
No of course not, but she allowed what the ugly and bad teeth idiots have today... (and you can read they still haven't figured that out).....the Financialization of the UK led to BIG BANKS, over 50% of GDP that are TO BIG TO FAIL ..meaning We the banks cannot fail, to important and you the peasants aren't. Our, the banks, profits are privatized and the losses are socialized because we are to big to fail. Heil Maggie, Queen of Neo-Liberalism.

I wonder why that is? ANOTHER run on the fabled BitCoin: trading houses, the ONLY way of exchanging this crap unless you are a drug dealer, CLOSED DOWN AGAIN.
Ponzi scheme, stupidity unlimited, as a DUTCHMAN albeit hiding in the USA you must have heard of the TULIP BUBBLE? Well what you have now is the BitCoin BUBBLE.
Some financial expert you are that you didn’t see this coming and denied it to me.
We will see though.

Apr 12th, 2013 - 06:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are not facts,
They are just your hatred for everything British,
And you know it,
Like her or hate her,
She achieved in what CFK has failed to do,
Maggie liked action
CFK likes to talk,
You started a war,
She beat you,
That’s a fact,
And you have never forgiven her; anything else she may or may not have done in the UK is of no concern to Argies but the brits,
But your hate and the hate of others is no more than fear,
Yes fear, other wise you would not have waited until she was dead to insult her.
@briton
Apr 13th, 2013 - 05:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0You are wrong Briton what happens in Britain is a matter of concern for Argentina.
Surely Arg govt. is having a closer eye over Britain...
As far I know M T was more afraid of the argies than the argie for her because if I not bad remember she once refuse to come to Argentina for fear to end in jail like Pinochet in Europe.
He he I guess she was not so stupid after all.

Whenever I have a crap in Uruguay I am sure you lot must 'capture' it, it would be logical for your crap soldiers to have to do.
Of course she was afraid of you, that's why she let you keep the islands after your glorious victory. Tell me how's life in Puerto Argentina the days, everybody happy and prosperous are they? On your Malvinas!

And very wise too,
The world is changing and getting more violent as we speak,
And it will all end in tears-
CFK is very wise to suspect the brits,
You know what they say about the quiet ones…

Nah! Dunny-Burger, like the rest of the Malvanistas have no idea what 'quiet' is: all they ever do is shout the mouths off about everything they have ever done is a victory.
And they have got the medals to prove it: arses kicked off the Falklands - no problem, we will have a Malvinas medal!
Twats or what?
Bronze, silver and gold in the Port Stanley steeple chase. Same goes for the Goose Green pentathlon, where they excelled at the high jump!
