Quote crystal balls at 10 Apr 2013 12.33pm After Mrs T. resigned, she asked for an honour; not for herself but for Dennis, who became a Baronet in 1991. Interestingly, he is the last person outside of the royal family to be granted a hereditary honour. This obviously passed on to Mark on Dennis's death, so another member of the House of Lords who gets lost easily (though with most Lords this only occurs because of senility).

Newspapers reporting that the funeral is only going to cost £10million and that the multi-millionaires Mark and Carol have very kindly offered to pay the bill for the actual cremation, car and some flowers. Good on them £5000 is a lot of money. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]

Quote jamiemartin721 at 10 Apr 2013 12.48pm True, but the signs of recovery started in the years prior to the conservative victory anyhow. The ability of governments to direct ecconomy's is very limited. Almost certainly the next government inherited an ecconomic situation in recovery, from an all time low (which had affected labour and conservative governments). You talk about 'saving the country millions with British steel' but that doesn't include the social costs or the financial costs of benefits. Peoples whole lives were essentially ruined, and thats why people who regard life as being more than a cheap fiscal value didn't like her. Her policys ripped apart British communities creating unemployment black spots across the country, and offerig nothing but a life on benefits in return. Remind me of this? Is this when the streets were lined with rubbish because the of strikes and the dead weren't being buried, that never seemed like stems of recovery to me. What was the alterantive, carry on with the rest of the nation being held to ransom by unelected (by non union members) millitant groups that had a political agenda. There were a great deal of Britian that had become sick of subsidising jobs just to keep unemployment down, which is basically what the steel and mining was all about. It became personal between her and Scargill, which as a politician it shouldn't have done, but he needed to have his power checked. More should have been done to regenerate the communities that suffered, rather than saying 'they'll find new careers...eventually.

Much better in government eyes to have a nation of alcoholics than drug addicts as can earn money out of them. Oh and by the way it was Very Left Leaning Labour Tony Crosland that started the closure of Grammar schools. a self-appointed guardian of the socialist conscience, who hated selective education with an arrogance possible only in one whose parents could afford to send him to public school(typical double standards Labour prck really then) bollox I'm afraid, alcopops, were appearing well into the late 80's seeing as I lived in New Malden at the time which was home to the Cambridge and Dickerage Road Estates where there were probably more bag ladies , Ciderwomen and general degenerates in the space of a couple of square miles then most London boroughs the Off Licences of The Kingston Road were doing a booming trade selling these drinks back then. Edited by Bin Liner (10 Apr 2013 11.36am) Not relying on wikipedia but worked behind a bar and recall that it was Diamond White that was drunk earlier than 1990 and that is a clear cider not an alcopop. Perhaps over use of alcohol has confused your memories IIRC, alcopops were being sold in Off Licences some time before pubs and bars began to stock them, if would go as far to say they started to appear from 1985+ the Off Licences on Kingston Road were notorious for selling these even getting people travelling form miles outside the borough . Even the Left loving Blair/Brown Broadcasting Company point out that Alcopops were introduced to the UK in 1995. Varients of cider etc do not count. Most young people in the eighties drank sweeter cider if they could get their hands on it.
