I won't celebrate her coming death before I've received sufficient evidence to prove that she got a wooden stake through the heart and was buried in a lead coffin.

I remember the day of the first vote for the leadership (which she didn't win outright). I was a brew head in those days. A bunch of us were pissed up dancing round the streets of the West End of London singing "ding ding the witch is dead" from the Wizard of Oz, one of the happiest days of my life.

I remember when we heard that she had lost. I was working as a hospital porter in the UK at the time. It was on the Radio in the late morning. Most of us quit work early and went down the pub.

It's by far the best thing she ever did.

I just got back from school and switched on BBC ceefax(we'd just got a teletext t.v.) to see the headline on the main page.

I remember feeling quite giddy.

I don't really think it's particularly helpful to have websites like 'isthatcherdeadyet'. It's really quite distasteful.

Let us just remember what a fucking arsehole, worker-hating, **** ***** **** **** cow she was without resorting to their level.
