Its very difficult to think of many with a bigger ego than Thatcher but you have found a whole organisation that is just as megolomaniac as she was.

Good work fella

So you think that those people who had their pensions (their futures) robbed by Maxwell were out of order for celebrating his demise?

Struggling with reading - Blair came after not before!!

On Blair how about going into Iraq on the back of non-existent WMD - compare and contrast with the Falklands?

The Sun is doing a souvenir issue tomorrow should you wish to buy it.

Sadly one of them still is but I doubt his kids want reminding of that too often.

I really need to find somewhere that sells the Morning Star tomorrow as that could make for an interesting read.

The Torygraph earlier closed the comments section of the Thatcher story, requesting instead that people e-mailed their tributes. The was just tweeted by the editorTony Gallagher ‏@gallaghereditor

Tesco/Asda/Sainsbury/Morribobs would have done that anyway - you cannot restrict the size of a firm in a competitive market, especially if said employer employes ten of thousands of people. So what would gentleman Jim done - asked Arthur!!

ANC boycotting the funeral

And this is from Dali Tambo, son of former ANC president Oliver Tambo.

My gut reaction now is what it was at the time when she said my father was the leader of a terrorist organisation. I don't think she ever got it that every day she opposed sanctions, more people were dying, and that the best thing for the assets she wanted to protect was democracy.

Many lives were lost. It's a shame that we could never call her one of the champions of the liberation struggle. Normally we say that when one of us goes, the ANC ancestors will meet them at the pearly gates and give them a standing ovation. I think it's quite likely that when Margaret Thatcher reaches the pearly gates, the ANC will boycott the occasion.
