    I have a soft spot for the evil old bitch as well: it's a very deep peat bog on Skye. Ask anyone in a derelict pit village if they saw her as a "maternal presence." Having said that, in terms of what they're currently enacting, the present lot are arguably even worse, tackling areas which Maggie even in her pomp shied away from.

    Yes, she defined the 80s. The decade of "Me first, fuck you", roll back regulation and we're still living with the consequences.

    And the music was universally shite as well. Skinny twats with daft haircuts noodling endlessly on electronic keyboards.

    The bitch took away my free milk at school!

    Mock The Week's Frankie Boyle, on the cost of Margaret Thatchers funeral.

    “For 3 million they could give everyone in Scotland a shovel, and we could dig a hole so deep we could hand her over to Satan personally."




    Iron Maiden had the right idea in 1980...

    From his King's College web page:
    Biography
    Dr Alexandre Afonso is Lecturer in Politics in the Department of Political Economy. His main research interests are welfare state and labour market reforms, the political economy of labour migration and the role of organised interests in policymaking.
    Before joining King's College in September 2012, he held research positions at the Max Planck Institute for the Studies of Society in Cologne, the European University Institute in Florence, Johns Hopkins University (SAIS, Washington DC) and the University of Amsterdam. Alexandre holds a PhD in political science from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. A Swiss-Portuguese national, he speaks French, English, Portuguese, German and Italian and has a reasonable level in Dutch and Spanish.

    But he doesn't know how to open a bank account in the UK...how about- ask your employer for proof of address, contract of employment, an official letter, get yourself a passport...then maybe we can rack our brains as to what a 'Soviet state' looks like, and whether or not the UK is a one-party state run by workers committees...
