I won't say that it is sad to hear that Margaret Thatcher has died.

In much the same way that you hope for 'merciful release' for an ailing aged relative, it has been cruel to see her physical decline over the last few years and, should her philosophy prove correct, she is back with her much-loved husband.

And while I disagreed with so very, very much of what she did and what she believed, I preferred her to the current mob. At least you knew exactly where you stood with her, and she generally took her policies to the polls. And she was classier than Heseltine or Major.

There, three nice things said about the dead.

Now I would like my fucking milk and industry back.

I am profoundly sad at the news of her passing, but agree that watching her decline was sadder still. As to the current mob, and the mob that preceded it, they are all in for one serious wake up call I'm afraid.

Lovely seeing you as always.

I bear no ill will to Gordon Brown, but I find myself evilly hoping that Tony Blair chokes on a canape …

Is it wrong that I am happy Nelson Mandela survived his most recent illness so he can have a quiet chortle into his sleeve? It probably is.

Very good to see you, too!

Gordon Brown! No, the gold alone forbids me from ever having anything nice to say about Mr. Brown. I don't think it's wrong but I think Nelson Mandela is probably a better man than that.
