The low intensity civil war waged under Thatcher seems to have been hiding twitching behind the curtains only to erupt at her death. For twenty three years the Tories sought to get away from her -no nasty party now. But with her awaiting burial, Cameron has come out as the vestal virgin-in-chief to mourn this loss. Must be the much awaited plan B people have been talking about.
And of the funeral arrangements: our beloved leader will have clear skies and empty streets as a sign of the people's affection. Tommies from a bygone conflict will line the streets as a cortege rumbles by in silence.

Lists are being drawn up as we speak of those who have a record of vehement opposition to her ways. Some will be arrested as a preventative measure. Internet forums are being surveilled for key signs.

The proposed minute's silence for her demise planned for Reading versus Liverpool has been scrapped. Margaret Aspinall of the Hillsborough Families said "To have a minute's silence for her at any football ground would be an insult to fans"

Would the pro-Thatcher acolytes on here like to propose the same silence reign during our next home match? And if they would, can they send a petition to the board?

But that's just your opinion isn't it? Who decides whether someone else's view is valid or not? There is no higher court which hands down a judgement, it's just a subjective opinion on someone else's subjective opinion.

And of course you're always right - to you. To someone else you could just as easily be always wrong.

My point is that EVERYONE thinks they're right. They can't all be, so who decides? You? Me? Them?

No-one has the monopoly on truth mate, not me or you or anyone else. We all create our own "truth" in any case and just because someone else doesn't agree with it, doesn't make it any less true to the person who holds that view.

But just because everyone thinks they are right, does not mean that they are, self-evidently. I could opine that the earth is flat, but it does not make opinion as valid as someone who believes it is round.

No one necessarily needs to decide though, both can retain their opinions as long as they want, however misguided they may be. But someone who does not revise their opinion in the light of the evidence is rather foolish.

Mrs Thatcher took the view that to do things that were right sometimes entailed unpopularity until people saw that what was being done was working.
