You do have a knack of missing the point, I wasn't saying that you were outraged, but never mind, as long as your enjoyment wasn't spoiled by the 300 silent protestors that you missed, that's the main thing.

Good to hear a bagpiper led the procession.

You've never heard of let alone been to Goldthorpe ?

Think of any of those ex-mining villages in your vicinity, or some of the worst bits of Consett...

They are luxurious wealthy villages compared to Goldthorpe, the only thing that improved Goldthorpe was when they built a by-pass around it a few years ago so now you don't have to run the risk that when driving through it the lights in the centre might change to red and you'd have to risk 60 seconds parked in the bloody awful place.

Oh the irony. The fact you are discussing them at all shows they had impact.

No it doesn't.

Of course it does. It has had you engaged in discussion over several pages of this thread. The fact you typed one work on the subject of their protest is proof it has impact. The fact their story has been reported in the news has drawn attention (including yours) to their point of view is further proof. No impact? A baseless and ludicrous statement on your part.

Any chance of locking this thread mods so we can forget about the dog asap?

Seeing as the funeral took place in London did you expect anything else but fawnage from the locals. You blowhard all week about people showing no respect. Then get all keyboard warrior because thousands from the North didn't turn up and wreck it. I would imagaine that the majority who hated her (like myself) just could not be d to turn up.

This. Went on an all-day sesh around Halifax and didn't see a minute of the old bats funeral.

Never forget.

Not until it gets to 100 pages.
