Lol. Justin I’ve just seen your latest twitter photo of your lounge room, is that a massager or a vibrator on the coffee table? Clearly you are a man with nothing to do at the moment. I must say though the room looks cozy in a cluttered sort of way.
I really like what you guys tend to be up too.
This kind of clever work and reporting! Keep up the fantastic works guys I’ve included you guys to my personal blogroll.
Superb blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost
on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like
Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so
many options out there that I’m completely confused .. Any recommendations? Cheers!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like
yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a friend who was conducting a little research on this. And he in fact bought me lunch simply because I stumbled upon it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending the time to talk about this issue here on your web page.
Me too Kit! I’m still on the very intensive spam sibling splatter course at the Bot Blade Runner Academy. These replicant bot bastards breed like rabbits you know.
Kit on responded with:
The comments wouldn’t bother me so much if they utilized some grammatical conventions, or were at least on topic and actually appreciated Mr. Justin Currie!
(Spam bots are new to me, so as to how they breed, well it’s all spam bot to me.)
Glinda on responded with:
Yes I agree. They seem to be grammatically challenged, (not that I’m much better!), and completely oblivious as to the content of which they claim such superlative praise. Some of the bot babble would be quite entertaining if it weren’t so inane. Back to the Academy…;-)
Beware of the distant cruch of those marching boots Justin, again I would advise you to sleep with one eye open. I just hope you are not bending over when they are right behind you otherwise you may get a nasty shock! Or you may enjoy it, whatever tickles your fancy!
With havin so much written content do you ever
run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
My website has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help protect against content from being stolen? I’d definitely appreciate it.
Thanks for clearing that up Glinda. But I still think Justin is a bit of an enigma, not that there is anything wrong with that as I like a bit of mystery in a man. I hope this replies to your correct comment as I haven’t been able to directly reply to anyone’s comment for ages, the computer won’t let me. Oh well here goes, fingers crossed.
Have you ever thought about publishing an e-book or guest
authoring on other blogs? I have a blog based on the
same information you discuss and would really
like to have you share some stories/information. I know my viewers would enjoy
your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an email.
Hello everybody, here every one is sharing these
kinds of experience, therefore it’s pleasant to read this webpage, and I used to pay a visit this weblog every day.
Hi, Neat post. There is a problem with your website in web explorer,
would test this? IE nonetheless is the marketplace leader and a huge section of people will omit your magnificent writing due to this problem.
While we are on the subject of people’s passing I was saddened to hear that Chrissie Amphlett died last week.
She was a true rock chick and when peforming live she owned the stage. I really hope her dying wish comes to fruition and that was for her song ‘I Touch Myself’ to become the anthem for the National Breast Cancer Awareness’ campaign. So come on people start touching yourselves as it could save your lives, that includes blokes too, I knew a man who had breast cancer. RIP Chrissie and thanks for the memories.
Sending out an SOS to anyone who can tell me how to go about getting the rrs feed thingy, I’m not very tech savvy. I would be eternally greatful (but please explain it in simple terms for me). Hope Justin doesn’t give away this site for his blogs. And thank you Ray Ban Outlet for giving me a good laugh, I hope your daughter doesn’t develope a phobia of shells.
Love the music, and that really would have conveyed the sentiment eloquently enough. Its far more powerful than the wailing of the crowd to make your points, no matter if this what you (all) truly believe.
But as for the rest, I dunno it leaves a sour taste to me. You’re all entitled to your party of course, but whilst you congratulate yourself at the inevitable fate that befell her it might be worth considering it foreshadows your own (and my own) traumatic destiny
Its up to you all to judge yourselves, Im not qualified. How do you wish to be seen? Are you all proud? Delighting in the death of a little old lady, who’s mind had been ravaged by Alzheimer’s. Weak frail and confused. Its sick. Actually its saddens me a little. But its your party.
I suppose its the hypocrisy. How can you condemn somebody for breaking down society, and then act like savages yourselves in the wake of their passing. If you are better than she, then act like it. If not then fair enough you forfeit your right for respect of these opinions. You make your doctrine worthless and wretched. Nobody is putting the other side. The Mob Rules, well that’s alright.
Its just a conceit. I don’t expect anybody to agree, but be careful when you climb off the bandwagon, you might just find it a long step down into the monstrous new world you helped to perpetuate. You might just reap what you sow. You might just find the crass reverie doesn’t attenuate the shock for long when you see your own reflection.
You have a choice of who you want to be, whatever you say there is always a choice. Necrotic minds that still cling to the blame culture, poison the past, and fuck the future. Get up, stand up, be better. Reveal your truths, don’t cloak them beneath impenetrable layers of enmity.
I’m sorry to see Gillybop has taken her leave, sickened by the glee at the death of a mother and grandmother. I’m sad that Karen who’s posts I always respect tried to show common decency, and nobody understood. I’m sad that this is your brave new world, informed by twitter, and racked with prejudice.
Foot soldiers in the capital, liberating new kinds of hate. Indeed. Welcome to your world. Justin is my hero, a titan of the arts and I’m as insignificant as a spam bot, but thought it right to contribute.
Thankyou. I am exasperated by the comments Leslie and I too have been sickened by it all! If I could articulate as well as you have how I feel, then I would write more. Let us move on and get back to the music before my fickle heart is turned off forever!
My theory about weird stuff going on with the website is that Margaret Thatcher might be trying to sabotage it. You better sleep with one eye open Justin.
1. She supported the retention of capital punishment
2. She destroyed the country’s manufacturing industry
3. She voted against the relaxation of divorce laws
4. She abolished free milk for schoolchildren (“Margaret Thatcher, Milk Snatcher”)
5. She supported more freedom for business (and look how that turned out)
6. She gained support from the National Front in the 1979 election by pandering to the fears of immigration
7. She gerrymandered local authorities by forcing through council house sales, at the same time preventing councils from spending the money they got for selling houses on building new houses (spending on social housing dropped by 67% in her premiership)
8. She was responsible for 3.6 million unemployed – the highest figure and the highest proportion of the workforce in history and three times the previous government. Massaging of the figures means that the figure was closer to 5 million
9. She ignored intelligence about Argentinian preparations for the invasion of the Falkland Islands and scrapped the only Royal Navy presence in the islands
10. The poll tax
11. She presided over the closure of 150 coal mines; we are now crippled by the cost of energy, having to import expensive coal from abroad
12. She compared her “fight” against the miners to the Falklands War
13. She privatised state monopolies and created the corporate greed culture that we’ve been railing against for the last 5 years
14. She introduced the gradual privatisation of the NHS
15. She introduced financial deregulation in a way that turned city institutions into avaricious money pits
16. She pioneered the unfailing adoration and unquestioning support of the USA
17. She allowed the US to place nuclear missiles on UK soil, under US control
18. Section 28
19. She opposed anti-apartheid sanctions against South Africa and described Nelson Mandela as “that grubby little terrorist”
20. She support the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and sent the SAS to train their soldiers
21. She allowed the US to bomb Libya in 1986, against the wishes of more than 2/3 of the population
22. She opposed the reunification of Germany
23. She invented Quangos
24. She increased VAT from 8% to 17.5%
25. She had the lowest approval rating of any post-war Prime Minister
26. Her post-PM job? Consultant to Philip Morris tobacco at $250,000 a year, plus $50,000 per speech
27. The Al Yamamah contract
28. She opposed the indictment of Chile’s General Pinochet
29. Social unrest under her leadership was higher than at any time since the General Strike
30. She presided over interest rates increasing to 15%
31. BSE
32. She presided over 2 million manufacturing job losses in the 79-81 recession
33. She opposed the inclusion of Eire in the Northern Ireland peace process
34. She supported sanctions-busting arms deals with South Africa
35. Cecil Parkinson, Alan Clark, David Mellor, Jeffrey Archer, Jonathan Aitkin
36. Crime rates doubled under Thatcher
37. Black Wednesday – Britain withdraws from the ERM and the pound is devalued. Cost to Britain – £3.5 billion; profit for George Soros – £1 billion
38. Poverty doubled while she opposed a minimum wage
39. She privatised public services, claiming at the time it would increase public ownership. Most are now owned either by foreign governments (EDF) or major investment houses. The profits don’t now accrue to the taxpayer, but to foreign or institutional shareholders.
40. She cut 75% of funding to museums, galleries and other sources of education
41. In the Thatcher years the top 10% of earners received almost 50% of the tax remissions
42. 21.9% inflation.

Just noticed there’s now spell-check here. Relief!
Now all we need is software that corrects grammar and punctuation too – then I’ll appear to be competent!
She could have used her formidable character differently. And maybe the unions did need taming, but overkill, disdain for the poor, and her insistence that we should all be patient and wait for the ‘trickle-down effect’, decimated the working class. So I am ambivalent – this ancient, frail little bird of a woman dies alone at the Ritz, but the long term harm she caused remains. Shameful, destructive and irreparable.
We died in her hands, and we’ve not been resurrected since.
I’ve only listened to Dead Inside once and now I can’t get the bloody song out of my head! Thanks Justin. Also I hope you have got your best suit and black arm bands ready for next Wednesday. I nearly fainted when I heard how much the funeral will cost.
Lyrics & music again excellent. Thank you. I will be sure to listen to to the song again during the footage from her funeral we are sure to get on every tv station her in OZ
Putting politics aside, I am very sorry to hear of the death of Baroness Thatcher. And very saddened by unnecessary self indulgent nastiness and lack of common decency. For me, two very bright lights have now been extinguished. Farewell to both.
Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!
I guess she has proved that only the good die young. I know this happened a while ago but I was also glad to hear of the death of Saddam Hussein & Osama Bin Laden.

[sic]Tonight I shall go and have a drink for Margaret Thatcher’s death. I shall raise my glass to the night sky, and THANK HER, and celebrate her life. People on this seem to have a very strange view of history. So here are a few little nuggets with how and more specifically WHY a lot of industries were destroyed by her, and what’s more, destroyed with the MANDATE OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE. The seventies were blighted by the trade unions waiting for winter and then coming out on strike at it’s heart. Holding the country to ransom for ANNUAL pay rises of up to 36% ABOVE inflation. This was the likes of Scargill and co. And they bled us dry. We were bankrupted by them. And then the Winter of Discontent happened. And they ALL came out. Miners, power workers, transport workers; even funeral directors, everything tied into the TGWU came out. My own grandparents lay on a slab for 2 months waiting to be buried. The entire country was a ruin. Rubbish not collected for months, rats everywhere. And the unions laughed, and brought down Callaghan’s Labour Government. And Thatcher stood up at the General Election and made ONE SIMPLE PROMISE. Elect me. And THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. ELECT ME AND I WILL DESTROY THEM. She won a landslide. On that promise.And she became the last elected Prime Minister to actually hold true to her election promise. She did exactly what she said. She utterly destroyed the unions. Obliterated them. The cost was those industries. We knew that would be the price. But we would not allow them to hold us to ransom again. What she did, she did with our BLESSING. The socialists and people who backed those strikes have only themselves to blame for what happened. Baroness Thatcher didn’t destroy those industries and communities for fun or as part of a class war. She did it to stop them holding the country to ransom again. And then she held the purse strings tight and re-built the economy and the country and Britain again stood tall and thrived. And we won back the global respect we had lost while the left wing ruled. In the Falklands we were thankful for her being in office. Those of us who went ‘south’ in ’82 did so knowing we had a leader who would not – and did not- interfere. She sent the military and allowed us to do our job. Gave us the money, the equipment and most of all THE FREEDOM to get the job done. Our lands had been invaded. We had a gun up our nose. SHE led us. Frankly Thatcher took a very broken Britain by the hand like a strict old fashioned Matron and LED THE COUNTRY BACK TO WHERE IT HAD ONCE BEEN. We were the worlds 3rd major power in ALL respects. And as for the world, it has NEVER been safer than when Thatcher was in Downing Street, Reagan was in the White House and Gorbachev was in the Kremlin as the three spoke DAILY. They laid the ground for the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Russians were TERRIFIED of her. And the world again feared Britain. And lets not forget that she gave people the full right to buy their own council property. Her vision was that the TENNANT and the tennant alone could buy that property.As soon as her party stabbed her in the back the feeding frenzy began as under her the famous Tory grandee greed was held in check. So they stabbed her, led by the europro traitor ponce Heseltine – who didn’t have the guts to face her openly and alone – they arranged her removal. And we have been a broken patsy for europe ever since. So yes, tonight I will celebrate the death of Baroness Thatcher, with thanks, with respect, and with sadness, because she allowed me to know what we could be, what we could achieve, what it meant to be BRITISH.
Karen, you were clearly brought up during those times in priviledge… those of us who witnessed first hand her destructive power, i.e. my family falling apart and a broken father who as a decent, honest, hard working man all his life, couldn’t find work to support his family, see those times for what they really were… the rich getting richer and the poorest falling further into poverty.
You clearly dont know what it means to be British.
Karen on responded with:
You couldn’t be more wrong teenagecrush! My dad worked as a welder on the railways and was made redundant. I myself have been unemployed and I am a single parent. I’m also a student nurse at the ripe old age of 48…so I know too well what it is to struggle! My dad was sent to coventry for working when everyone else was striking….he did this because his family had little money! I am not a Tory and never will but, I have stirred things up a bit. Those words aren’t mine, just another view! I
Karen on responded with:
….I feel nothing for old maggie and won’t waste my energy by getting angry! I am however pissed off with that insipid twat Cameron….the poor are still getting poorer and if you knew me you would realise where my loyalties lie…I work for the NHS!!!!!!
Glinda on responded with:
“And as for the world, it has NEVER been safer than when Thatcher was in Downing Street, Reagan was in the White House and Gorbachev was in the Kremlin as the three spoke DAILY.”
Karen, you must be kidding right? I was only a kid when Reagan was in the White House but we genuinely thought that any day we would be nuked by the Russians. Remember Star Wars? And I’m not referring to the movie. That’s how paranoid old Ronnie was. As far as Thatcher is concerned, I was married and lived in Liverpool and saw first hand the results of her policies on the city and really all of the north. How you can defend her decimation of the working class and the deindustrialization of the nation is absolutely baffling to me. She ruled with an iron fist and that is what finally finished her. What kind of leader sees that level of suffering and makes no compromises or concession? A tyrant.
For goodness sake, did you not read what I said!!!!
Glinda on responded with:
Yes I did. It is much easier to destroy something than to create. Is that really a laudable campaign promise to you? There are places in the UK, which I’m sure you are aware, which have never recovered from Thatcherism. Was it really necessary for Mrs. Thatcher to utterly obliterate essential industries? Or could she not have worked with the Unions?
Glinda on responded with:
If you are not a Tory and have no love for Mrs. Thatcher, then why post Mr. Chiverton’s truly laughable, inane rantings? Mr. Cameron and his party are her legacy. I wish you luck Karen and sincerely hope that you will still have an NHS to work for and that the UK will not wind up in as huge a mess as the US.
Karen on responded with:
But odd me thinks…a well off musician so excited at the death of an old woman! I’m no Tory but ffs…why?
Happy Birthday Iain Harvie.
Wow, awesome blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
you make blogging look easy. The overall look of
your web site is great, as well as the content!
P.S. And the facial toner? Please explain. I suppose that would explain why you have a glowing complexion.
Lol. Justin I’ve just seen your latest twitter photo of your lounge room, is that a massager or a vibrator on the coffee table? Clearly you are a man with nothing to do at the moment. I must say though the room looks cozy in a cluttered sort of way.
Hi there, yup this piece of writing is actually nice and I have learned lot of
things from it on the topic of blogging. thanks.
I really like what you guys tend to be up too.
This kind of clever work and reporting! Keep up the fantastic works guys I’ve included you guys to my personal blogroll.
Superb blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost
on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like
Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so
many options out there that I’m completely confused .. Any recommendations? Cheers!
I’m gone to inform my little brother, that he should also go to see this website on regular basis to get updated from latest news.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like
yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a friend who was conducting a little research on this. And he in fact bought me lunch simply because I stumbled upon it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending the time to talk about this issue here on your web page.
I want to be a spam bot blade runner.
I regret that you have not yet become a “spam bot blade runner”.
Me too Kit! I’m still on the very intensive spam sibling splatter course at the Bot Blade Runner Academy. These replicant bot bastards breed like rabbits you know.
The comments wouldn’t bother me so much if they utilized some grammatical conventions, or were at least on topic and actually appreciated Mr. Justin Currie!
(Spam bots are new to me, so as to how they breed, well it’s all spam bot to me.)
Yes I agree. They seem to be grammatically challenged, (not that I’m much better!), and completely oblivious as to the content of which they claim such superlative praise. Some of the bot babble would be quite entertaining if it weren’t so inane. Back to the Academy…;-)
I’m gone to inform my little brother, that he should also pay a quick visit this weblog on regular basis to get updated from most up-to-date news.
Do you have any video of that? I’d like to find out more details.
What’s up, yes this article is in fact nice and I have learned lot of things from it about blogging. thanks.
Happy Bank Holiday

Beware of the distant cruch of those marching boots Justin, again I would advise you to sleep with one eye open. I just hope you are not bending over when they are right behind you otherwise you may get a nasty shock! Or you may enjoy it, whatever tickles your fancy!
I really like it when individuals get together and share views.
Great site, keep it up!
Justin, I’d love to hear your version of this should you be so inclined. Holds breath expectantly… :-)

People like me
nice!
I listened to this and liked it a lot before I realised that it was written by Justin!
Very nice!! Quite up beat….. were you having a bad day……?
Beautiful…when I was listening to it I wondered…Now I know!
With havin so much written content do you ever
run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
My website has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help protect against content from being stolen? I’d definitely appreciate it.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Justin is a bit of an enigma. Who’s being interrupted? Please stop being cryptic, you’re doing my head in!
The spammers Kim…but alas they have returned.
Thanks for clearing that up Glinda. But I still think Justin is a bit of an enigma, not that there is anything wrong with that as I like a bit of mystery in a man. I hope this replies to your correct comment as I haven’t been able to directly reply to anyone’s comment for ages, the computer won’t let me. Oh well here goes, fingers crossed.
You’re welcome Kim and your reply thingy appears to be fixed. :-)
Have you ever thought about publishing an e-book or guest

Hi, Neat post. There is a problem with your website in web explorer,
would test this? IE nonetheless is the marketplace leader and a huge section of people will omit your magnificent writing due to this problem.
I like it when people get together and share ideas. Great blog, stick with

Justin Currie WAS the Spaminator! lol
Time to bring out the explosives for these exploitive voracious varmints. Free shoes here you bastards!

Justin Currie IS the Spaminator! ;-)
Yay! xxx
I always used to study article in news papers but
now as I am a user of web therefore from now I am using net for
content, thanks to web.
While we are on the subject of people’s passing I was saddened to hear that Chrissie Amphlett died last week.
She was a true rock chick and when peforming live she owned the stage. I really hope her dying wish comes to fruition and that was for her song ‘I Touch Myself’ to become the anthem for the National Breast Cancer Awareness’ campaign. So come on people start touching yourselves as it could save your lives, that includes blokes too, I knew a man who had breast cancer. RIP Chrissie and thanks for the memories.
I’m glad you still care Justin.
So am I.
Ya still keeping Ayr a secret! I’m stopping in my tent. Do you fancy coming and keeping me warm!!!!!
Confucius say a woman who judges a man by the size of his wheels only want to take him for ride.
But the size of his wheels is very important!!!
How many semolina pilchards are ya having? And sort out your spam and eggs…..!! ;-p xx
Sending out an SOS to anyone who can tell me how to go about getting the rrs feed thingy, I’m not very tech savvy. I would be eternally greatful (but please explain it in simple terms for me). Hope Justin doesn’t give away this site for his blogs. And thank you Ray Ban Outlet for giving me a good laugh, I hope your daughter doesn’t develope a phobia of shells.
Love the music, and that really would have conveyed the sentiment eloquently enough. Its far more powerful than the wailing of the crowd to make your points, no matter if this what you (all) truly believe.
But as for the rest, I dunno it leaves a sour taste to me. You’re all entitled to your party of course, but whilst you congratulate yourself at the inevitable fate that befell her it might be worth considering it foreshadows your own (and my own) traumatic destiny
Its up to you all to judge yourselves, Im not qualified. How do you wish to be seen? Are you all proud? Delighting in the death of a little old lady, who’s mind had been ravaged by Alzheimer’s. Weak frail and confused. Its sick. Actually its saddens me a little. But its your party.
I suppose its the hypocrisy. How can you condemn somebody for breaking down society, and then act like savages yourselves in the wake of their passing. If you are better than she, then act like it. If not then fair enough you forfeit your right for respect of these opinions. You make your doctrine worthless and wretched. Nobody is putting the other side. The Mob Rules, well that’s alright.
Its just a conceit. I don’t expect anybody to agree, but be careful when you climb off the bandwagon, you might just find it a long step down into the monstrous new world you helped to perpetuate. You might just reap what you sow. You might just find the crass reverie doesn’t attenuate the shock for long when you see your own reflection.
You have a choice of who you want to be, whatever you say there is always a choice. Necrotic minds that still cling to the blame culture, poison the past, and fuck the future. Get up, stand up, be better. Reveal your truths, don’t cloak them beneath impenetrable layers of enmity.
I’m sorry to see Gillybop has taken her leave, sickened by the glee at the death of a mother and grandmother. I’m sad that Karen who’s posts I always respect tried to show common decency, and nobody understood. I’m sad that this is your brave new world, informed by twitter, and racked with prejudice.
Foot soldiers in the capital, liberating new kinds of hate. Indeed. Welcome to your world. Justin is my hero, a titan of the arts and I’m as insignificant as a spam bot, but thought it right to contribute.
Danke Leslie. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/6941/hitlermournsthatcher.jpg
Thankyou. I am exasperated by the comments Leslie and I too have been sickened by it all! If I could articulate as well as you have how I feel, then I would write more. Let us move on and get back to the music before my fickle heart is turned off forever!
Here here…
My theory about weird stuff going on with the website is that Margaret Thatcher might be trying to sabotage it. You better sleep with one eye open Justin.
Which eye?
What’s going on with some of these posts?! Something weird!
It’s spam.
and eggs?!
Its funny!
spam, spam, spam, spam, eggs and spam! lol
Ding dong the witch is dead, indeed…
Thatchers record….
1. She supported the retention of capital punishment

5. She supported more freedom for business (and look how that turned out)
6. She gained support from the National Front in the 1979 election by pandering to the fears of immigration
7. She gerrymandered local authorities by forcing through council house sales, at the same time preventing councils from spending the money they got for selling houses on building new houses (spending on social housing dropped by 67% in her premiership)
8. She was responsible for 3.6 million unemployed – the highest figure and the highest proportion of the workforce in history and three times the previous government. Massaging of the figures means that the figure was closer to 5 million
9. She ignored intelligence about Argentinian preparations for the invasion of the Falkland Islands and scrapped the only Royal Navy presence in the islands
10. The poll tax
11. She presided over the closure of 150 coal mines; we are now crippled by the cost of energy, having to import expensive coal from abroad
12. She compared her “fight” against the miners to the Falklands War
13. She privatised state monopolies and created the corporate greed culture that we’ve been railing against for the last 5 years
14. She introduced the gradual privatisation of the NHS
15. She introduced financial deregulation in a way that turned city institutions into avaricious money pits
16. She pioneered the unfailing adoration and unquestioning support of the USA
17. She allowed the US to place nuclear missiles on UK soil, under US control

23. She invented Quangos
24. She increased VAT from 8% to 17.5%
25. She had the lowest approval rating of any post-war Prime Minister

27. The Al Yamamah contract
28. She opposed the indictment of Chile’s General Pinochet

38. Poverty doubled while she opposed a minimum wage
39. She privatised public services, claiming at the time it would increase public ownership. Most are now owned either by foreign governments (EDF) or major investment houses. The profits don’t now accrue to the taxpayer, but to foreign or institutional shareholders.
40. She cut 75% of funding to museums, galleries and other sources of education
41. In the Thatcher years the top 10% of earners received almost 50% of the tax remissions
42. 21.9% inflation.
So I’m right in assuming she was not well liked?…not even a little bit?
Love the music, and that really would have conveyed the sentiment eloquently enough. Its far more powerful than the wailing of the crowd to make your points, no matter if this what you (all) truly believe.
But as for the rest, I dunno it leaves a sour taste to me. You’re all entitled to your party of course, but whilst you congratulate yourself at the inevitable fate that befell her it might be worth considering it foreshadows your own (and my own) traumatic destiny

Goo goo g’ boob ☝
Are you getting spammed by corporate business?
Just noticed there’s now spell-check here. Relief!
Now all we need is software that corrects grammar and punctuation too – then I’ll appear to be competent!
Are you keeping Ayr a secret?! xx
this is about the size of it with me:

She could have used her formidable character differently. And maybe the unions did need taming, but overkill, disdain for the poor, and her insistence that we should all be patient and wait for the ‘trickle-down effect’, decimated the working class. So I am ambivalent – this ancient, frail little bird of a woman dies alone at the Ritz, but the long term harm she caused remains. Shameful, destructive and irreparable.
We died in her hands, and we’ve not been resurrected since.
Ditto M.
I’ve only listened to Dead Inside once and now I can’t get the bloody song out of my head! Thanks Justin. Also I hope you have got your best suit and black arm bands ready for next Wednesday. I nearly fainted when I heard how much the funeral will cost.
Lyrics & music again excellent. Thank you. I will be sure to listen to to the song again during the footage from her funeral we are sure to get on every tv station her in OZ
Putting politics aside, I am very sorry to hear of the death of Baroness Thatcher. And very saddened by unnecessary self indulgent nastiness and lack of common decency. For me, two very bright lights have now been extinguished. Farewell to both.
Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!
Way cool! Some extremely valid points! I appreciate you writing this
write-up and also the rest of the website is also really good.
I guess she has proved that only the good die young. I know this happened a while ago but I was also glad to hear of the death of Saddam Hussein & Osama Bin Laden.
She hated all of us. Now it’s our turn.
This is a cut and paste from elsewhere.

Hear, hear!! Clearly Mark and Carol won’t have to go cap in hand to the Soc for the funeral grant. Sign the e-petition: No state funeral for Thatcher

[sic]Tonight I shall go and have a drink for Margaret Thatcher’s death. I shall raise my glass to the night sky, and THANK HER, and celebrate her life. People on this seem to have a very strange view of history. So here are a few little nuggets with how and more specifically WHY a lot of industries were destroyed by her, and what’s more, destroyed with the MANDATE OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE. The seventies were blighted by the trade unions waiting for winter and then coming out on strike at it’s heart. Holding the country to ransom for ANNUAL pay rises of up to 36% ABOVE inflation. This was the likes of Scargill and co. And they bled us dry. We were bankrupted by them. And then the Winter of Discontent happened. And they ALL came out. Miners, power workers, transport workers; even funeral directors, everything tied into the TGWU came out. My own grandparents lay on a slab for 2 months waiting to be buried. The entire country was a ruin. Rubbish not collected for months, rats everywhere. And the unions laughed, and brought down Callaghan’s Labour Government. And Thatcher stood up at the General Election and made ONE SIMPLE PROMISE. Elect me. And THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. ELECT ME AND I WILL DESTROY THEM. She won a landslide. On that promise.And she became the last elected Prime Minister to actually hold true to her election promise. She did exactly what she said. She utterly destroyed the unions. Obliterated them. The cost was those industries. We knew that would be the price. But we would not allow them to hold us to ransom again. What she did, she did with our BLESSING. The socialists and people who backed those strikes have only themselves to blame for what happened. Baroness Thatcher didn’t destroy those industries and communities for fun or as part of a class war. She did it to stop them holding the country to ransom again. And then she held the purse strings tight and re-built the economy and the country and Britain again stood tall and thrived. And we won back the global respect we had lost while the left wing ruled. In the Falklands we were thankful for her being in office. Those of us who went ‘south’ in ’82 did so knowing we had a leader who would not – and did not- interfere. She sent the military and allowed us to do our job. Gave us the money, the equipment and most of all THE FREEDOM to get the job done. Our lands had been invaded. We had a gun up our nose. SHE led us. Frankly Thatcher took a very broken Britain by the hand like a strict old fashioned Matron and LED THE COUNTRY BACK TO WHERE IT HAD ONCE BEEN. We were the worlds 3rd major power in ALL respects. And as for the world, it has NEVER been safer than when Thatcher was in Downing Street, Reagan was in the White House and Gorbachev was in the Kremlin as the three spoke DAILY. They laid the ground for the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Russians were TERRIFIED of her. And the world again feared Britain. And lets not forget that she gave people the full right to buy their own council property. Her vision was that the TENNANT and the tennant alone could buy that property.As soon as her party stabbed her in the back the feeding frenzy began as under her the famous Tory grandee greed was held in check. So they stabbed her, led by the europro traitor ponce Heseltine – who didn’t have the guts to face her openly and alone – they arranged her removal. And we have been a broken patsy for europe ever since. So yes, tonight I will celebrate the death of Baroness Thatcher, with thanks, with respect, and with sadness, because she allowed me to know what we could be, what we could achieve, what it meant to be BRITISH.
Just adding another view, that’s all!!
Karen, you were clearly brought up during those times in priviledge… those of us who witnessed first hand her destructive power, i.e. my family falling apart and a broken father who as a decent, honest, hard working man all his life, couldn’t find work to support his family, see those times for what they really were… the rich getting richer and the poorest falling further into poverty.
You clearly dont know what it means to be British.
You couldn’t be more wrong teenagecrush! My dad worked as a welder on the railways and was made redundant. I myself have been unemployed and I am a single parent. I’m also a student nurse at the ripe old age of 48…so I know too well what it is to struggle! My dad was sent to coventry for working when everyone else was striking….he did this because his family had little money! I am not a Tory and never will but, I have stirred things up a bit. Those words aren’t mine, just another view! I
….I feel nothing for old maggie and won’t waste my energy by getting angry! I am however pissed off with that insipid twat Cameron….the poor are still getting poorer and if you knew me you would realise where my loyalties lie…I work for the NHS!!!!!!
“And as for the world, it has NEVER been safer than when Thatcher was in Downing Street, Reagan was in the White House and Gorbachev was in the Kremlin as the three spoke DAILY.”
Karen, you must be kidding right? I was only a kid when Reagan was in the White House but we genuinely thought that any day we would be nuked by the Russians. Remember Star Wars? And I’m not referring to the movie. That’s how paranoid old Ronnie was. As far as Thatcher is concerned, I was married and lived in Liverpool and saw first hand the results of her policies on the city and really all of the north. How you can defend her decimation of the working class and the deindustrialization of the nation is absolutely baffling to me. She ruled with an iron fist and that is what finally finished her. What kind of leader sees that level of suffering and makes no compromises or concession? A tyrant.

For goodness sake, did you not read what I said!!!!
Yes I did. It is much easier to destroy something than to create. Is that really a laudable campaign promise to you? There are places in the UK, which I’m sure you are aware, which have never recovered from Thatcherism. Was it really necessary for Mrs. Thatcher to utterly obliterate essential industries? Or could she not have worked with the Unions?
If you are not a Tory and have no love for Mrs. Thatcher, then why post Mr. Chiverton’s truly laughable, inane rantings? Mr. Cameron and his party are her legacy. I wish you luck Karen and sincerely hope that you will still have an NHS to work for and that the UK will not wind up in as huge a mess as the US.
But odd me thinks…a well off musician so excited at the death of an old woman! I’m no Tory but ffs…why?
Heh!
Hurrah! Dancing shoes at the ready.
Just don’t tap your heels together or it might all become undone.
Problem is, she might be dead, but her legacy lives on…
Favourite Thatcher joke so far comes from Frankie Boyle:
“Looking forward to hearing about who found all the Horcruxes”
LOL!
Let the joyous news be spread, the wicked old witch at last is dead!

Tomorrow is my birthday and I couldn’t have asked for a nicer pressie! lol! PAAAARTAAAAY!!!!
brutal……but true.
She’s dead on the outside too now!! Rotting!
