Brand kettle called Golly Pot Thatcher black?
2009-02-09 06:56:00 In Brusells Journal, '.. it was reported on the 2nd February 2009 that the comedian and Labour Party supporter Jo Brand was being investigated by the police for allegedly inciting criminal acts against her political opponents. While presenting a BBC television programme on the 16th January 2009, she rejoiced that the membership list of the British National Party had been stolen and published on the Internet. Her exact words were: "Hurrah! Now we know who to send the poo to". The natural meaning of her words was that it would be a fine idea to look up members of this party and send excrement to them through the post. The British National Party put in an immediate complaint, using the hate speech laws made during the past generation. According to a BBC spokesman, "We do not comment on police matters. However, we believe the audience would have understood the satirical nature of the remarks". It is relevant to note that Mrs Brand was present when Carol Thatcher ....."So the ugly mug d...

Thatcher state funeral undecided
2008-08-02 23:39:00 BBC says, No decision has been made about whether former prime minister Margaret Thatcher should be given a state funeral, a senior cabinet minister has said.Reports last month suggested officials of PM Gordon Brown and the Queen were in discussions with Lady Thatcher's office about arrangements.But Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman says the stories are inaccurate.The reports are no indication of any concern for the health of the 82-year-old, who was PM from 1979 to 1990.Ms Harman told the Guardian newspaper: "There is no arrangement on this and those stories are not accurate."Ms Harman, who has been "minding the shop" during Mr Brown's holiday this week, declined to say whether she thought the former Conservative leader should have a state funeral.State funerals are normally reserved for monarchs and reports that Lady Thatcher, a divisive political figure, would be given such a funeral sparked controversy.If granted, it would make Lady Thatcher the first premier since Sir Wi...

Margaret Thatcher a Cat Person
2007-10-30 15:11:00 The folks at National Review Online (specifically Jonah Goldberg and Rich Lowry) have a long running argument over the superiority of dogs versus cats. Jonah, the affable, playful frat-boyish Editor-at-Large prefers affable, playful pooches. Rich Lowry, the brooding head honcho of the magazine, keeps the company of evil, maniacal cats from high atop his perch at the towering headquarters of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.Though I like Jonah Goldberg's writing and think he has the upper hand in the argument, I would be remiss not to note that today Rich Lowry may have scored a win. It appears that either he or his minions (the same ones that prevent said Goldberg from being allowed a living wage) have mischievously convinced Margaret Thatcher, the Grand Dame of conservatism, to get a cat, instead of a dog."She had thought of getting a dog," said a friend, "but exercising it would have posed security issues."Who was this friend, I ask? I posit that it was none other than Rich Lowry, ...
Lady Thatcher gives Gordon Brown an Hand-bagging over the EU Referendum.
2007-09-29 18:04:00 Good old LADY Thatcher has Hand-bagged Gordon Brown by backing The Sun?s campaign for an EU Treaty referendum.She warned Brown not to trust EU leaders and that any guarantees form them are not worth the paper they are written on.Lady Thatcher told the Sun:?Yet again Sun readers are standing up for Britain and calling our Government to account. May I say to the Prime Minister, don?t believe the assurances from Brussels ? they gave similar ones to me. It?s not too late to listen and it?s not too late to act. This Treaty matters, Prime Minister, so be bold and let the British people have the final say.?Lady Thatcher is urging Brown not to fall for claims the Treaty is different to the rejected Constitution saying: the Treaty is the Constitution ?in all but name? and the nation deserves its say. Don't forget those of you that value Democracy: David Cameron has already given a signed pledge of a national vote if he wins the General election.You can read the full story in The Sun by c...

Is Gordon Brown Getting Union Tips From Lady Thatcher?
2007-09-13 16:51:00 Baroness Thatcher is visiting Gordon Brown at 10 Downing Street today. I wonder if he is going to pick her brains over his current difficulties with the unions? With co-ordinated strike action threatened over his below inflation pay offer and the unions voting in favour of a referendum on the EU Treaty, he probably feels he needs all the help he can get. Lets face it, we've had two outbreaks of foot and mouth (from an installation he cut funding to last year), widespread flooding (in areas that have not had their flood defences maintained), UK troops put in unnecessary danger (lack of funding for decent equipment) and strikes on the tube and in our prisons. To top it all, he is refusing to give us the referendum on the EU Treaty that Labour promised us in the last election. Not a very auspicious start for our unelected Prime Minister is it? I don't think he will be thinking of an early election. If I were him, I'd be more worried about a possible call for a vote of no confi...

Nuestro vecino Mark Thatcher
2006-12-07 21:22:01 Mark Thatcher, hijo de la ex primera ministra conservadora británica, trata de establecer su residencia fiscal en Gibraltar para ahorrarse el pago de importantes impuestos.Así lo asegura el dominical The Sunday Times, según el cual Thatcher, de 53 años, ha consultado a asesores fiscales y busca un "penthouse" de 1.5 millones de euros en ese territorio.De tener éxito en su búsqueda, el empresario pagaría sólo en torno a 30 mil euros al año por su fortuna, calculada en 96 millones de euros.Según personas próximas a Thatcher, éste se dispone a solicitar permiso de residencia en el Peñón, acogiéndose a una nueva ley destinada a atraer a los supermillonarios en competencia con paraísos fiscales más "glamourosos" como Mónaco.Todo lo que necesita hacer es pagar el equivalente de 500 mil euros, demostrar que tiene una fortuna mínima de 3 millones de euros, presentar dos referencias de personas que le conozcan y alquilar una propiedad "apropiada para mantener el tren de vida de un rico".Ni s...

Rough Injustice at the FA Thatcher v Barnett
2006-09-28 14:33:02 Where does the FA recruit the people it uses to decide on the punishments that they will hand out to those who offend and break the rules that hold English football together? Are these people trained? Have they seen a game of football? Do they understand business in the modern environment or do they live in an alternative universe? The FA handed repeat offender Ben Thatcher an eight game ban (with another 15 match ban suspended for two years) for violent conduct when he hospitalised Portsmouth midfielder Pedro Mendes during a game earlier this season at Eastlands Stadium; giving Thatcher a number of weeks to reflect on his actions while he relaxes on a beach or works out at the clubs top class training facilities. However the same football authority has just handed agent Jonathan Barnett an EIGHTEEN month ban with nine suspended, revoked his agents license and fined him £100,000 and ordered him to pay the costs of the hearing. What was his crime? Cold blooded murder of a player on t...
Ben Thatcher Fined and Banned By Manchester City For Assault
2006-09-03 13:54:04 Manchester City have taken action against their own player following the nasty incident where Thatcher struck Mendes across the face with his elbow. Causing the Pompey player to require medical attention at a local hospital. City have imposed a six game ban on the player and fined him six weeks wages. The incident happened on the touch line as Mendes was trying to clear the ball. With the score at 0-0 neither side were chasing the game enough to warrant any rash challenges, but Thatcher led with his arm and paid the ball little attention. The astonishing fact is Thatcher only received a yellow card for the challenge, when other players have been sent off this season for fairly innocuous challenges. Thatcher has form for this kind of incident, in 2000 while playing for Wimbledon he elbowed Sunderland?s Nicky Summerbee, incurring a two match ban. Is the ban enough? A six game holiday and a proportionately miniscule fine, would that make a footballing ego tow the line and learn a less...
