On the 31/8/97 Princes Diana died in a car crash in Paris. In the immediate aftermath and Press Sponsored outpouring of grief, Football Games were cancelled,and on resumption a minutes silence was observed throughout Britain. Regardless of emotional feelings towards a "member of state" OUR game was compromised by an unfortunate accident 300 miles away involving a civic personality who had Never been involved with our Sport. We have now been esclated into the eyes of the world due to the fantastic exploits of our Team/Manager/Chairman/Support As a Stoke / Football Fan I am now actively looking at ways of stopping this happening again to us. The only people who deserve to be onhoured in our "cathederal" are our own! Give me Keith Alexander's minute's silence/fantastic performances by HIS Team straight after his untimely death rarther than any politician any day.

a minutes 'silence' for thatcher would give us the chance to show what we think of her. 'hey ho the witch is dead' or has anyne get anything better to sing You never know how you are going to feel until it happens, with the exception of Thatcher. I was at Coventry Poly when the Brighton Bomb went off and the initial reports suggested that Thatcher had been killed. I remember a load of us had a spontaneous party and we were singing 'Ding-Dong the Bitch is Dead' I have mellowed a little these days, but I find it hard to forgive her for the misery and vindictiveness with which she ran the country and I will probably feel much the the same when eventually a house, with Julie Garland in it, lands on her. But I am sure I will be able to put a more respectful face on it this time. Truth be told, I'll probably feel the same when Blair gets sent back to Azkaban too. As for a minute's silence - Unless it is someone to do with the club or a national football hero, keep it out of the stadia. As it is, the clubs might as well have a black band printed permanently on their strips.

Bar Churchill if you class him as modern day. wow I gotta try what ever drugs you took before writing that ;D i think a real can of worms has been opened up here in particular i think you'll find most southerners, the 'better off, financially' and the just plain ignorant will look back on thatcher as a great leader she has been discredited in recent years as being clueless sadly people will think she was a great leader because she sank the belgrano and set the police on 'our enemy within', our own people, the miners etc some people say that what she did was necessary to usher in an era of economic liberalism and remove reliance on declining industries. that is true, but thatcher did a very bad job in enabling the transition to the free market base, as we have an economy where a few people are very very rich, and there are masses of squalor and poverty in this country. that is what she intended she was not an economist, not particularly intelligent, she stumbled upon ways to change our economy, she did however have a hatred of the working classes and a desire to feather the nests of her own people. wish i hadn't got involved in this as it is not something that should be discussed on this board!

I'll say this for her. Of all the folk who should be hanged for treason for handing over our country to Europe - mainly Edward Heath, Douglas Hurd, John Major, Blair and herself - to the point where Britain now no longer exists, she is the only one who regrets what she did. Unfortunately, her mind is now too befuddled to be useful and explain to the (former) British people that our nation is now abolished as a result. www.tpuc.org/node/35"The leaders of our three political parties get their orders from the European Union, not the British electorate, whom they neither serve nor care for. They've created a one party state: the three parties have almost identical policies, and all agree on the abolition of Britain by the EU."

You're right pete, it should be subject matter for the GDB. Still, an excellent thumb nail sketch of Thatcher!

The tories left this country with money in the bank, a large gold reserve (which Brown sold off at the lowest price) and a thriving economy, bliar and the oned eyed git have sppunked it away and left us with trillion pound debt that will take a generation to clear, it would be funny if it wasn't so stomach churning Nor me. Maggie was the greatest modern day leader the world has ever seen. Bar Churchill if you class him as modern day. +1. She would certainly get a minutes applause from me. +2 from here

Us? Don't speak for me please. H I'm with RAF. Don't speak for me. Bit of an ignorant rant, really. I liked Thatcher. She was as hard as her hairspray. Strong hold sunsilk. The reality for some, is that Thatcher had some ideals that many didn't like. Forget which side of politics people came from, she stuck by her guns, and wasn't always on the 'Yes...me too" train. Bit like John Howard in Oz. This fuck knuckle we have now couldn't lace Howard's boots. Credit where credit's due. Give some. Show some. K4.

I would not vote for any current politicians.
much like Thatcher, all politicians are morally and ethically corrupt. It has been ingrained in them all for too long. Thatcher famously dismantled national industries and enabled her buddies to get very rich whilst ensuring the inevitable demise of public transport, unions, workers rights, shipbuilding, mining, the list goes on... but none of the other governments since have repaired the damage, but they have also ensured that other politicians get rich.
That's why I firmly believe that we really need a clean sweep.
Future politicians should only have one employer, the state, with no external (financial) interests. All their financial details should be matters of public record. No 2nd homes. Government owned hotel-apartments near Westminster for those that need them. Salaries would need to rise to cover the exclusion of external activities and only lucrative salaries would work against temptation whilst attracting the best candidates.

For me Thatcher did a lot of good things, she wasn't afraid to make big decisions and show leadership, a pity she went over the top in the later years. But what really worries me is given that the next few years are going to be really tough, and there is going to be a lot of dissatisfaction anyway as cuts are made - when she dies there will be massively polarized opinions - and her funeral could be the catalyst for some serious civil unrest.

I wouldn't worry about unrest striper it would bring the scum to the surface. then it can easily be got rid of. Shame it'll take take the death of one of our greatest ever prime minister
