Bankrupt country can afford lavish funeral
10-04-2013 10:50
After the witch's long overdue death this week, William Hague has defended the public cost of the funeral, saying that Britain can "afford" to contribute. The tories insist we all tighten our belts and that there simply isn't money to provide vital services to maintain basic standards of living and keep people out of poverty. But they can afford to shell out millions to lavishly bury one of their own.The Media In Overdrive: Thatcher And The Triumph Of Capitalism

On Monday night, the day that Margaret Thatcher died, much of the mainstream media fell over itself to mourn the passing of a 'great' leader. There were of course some references to her being a ‘divisive figure', but only because she did what ‘had to be done', which politicians before her were too weak-willed to do (ie attack workers' rights, the welfare state and beat down wages). Even people like Henry Kissinger, a man often accused as having the blood of innocent millions on his hands, were wheeled onto our screens to tell the British public what a really outstanding leader she was. That the BBC would turn to Kissinger for such a ringing endorsement of Thatcher's policies and personality says a lot about the mindset over at the good old 'Beeb'.
Thatchers state funeral - Warning: scare tactics in use
10-04-2013 08:33
If things run to form, there will be lots of stories in the days to come about pre-emptive arrests, and heavy policing for Thatchers funeral. Intervention and deterrence - otherwise known as scaring people away from protest - is now an established police tactic. But it only works if we get scared.Vigil for Thatcher's Many Victims - Wed 17 April in Wrexham

In considering the legacy of Margaret Thatcher, it should not be forgotten that she was not acting alone. She was but the initial figurehead in the UK for the introduction of the neo-liberal policies favoured by by the most assertive section of the capitalist class, who are still in ascendency using other figureheads.Refugee solidarity demonstration in Düsseldorf-Oberbilk (ger)

The day dawned...... AT LAST, YAY!

Margaret Thatcher died before noon today [Monday]. People hearing this spendid news, gathered at the left lion in market square to mark this joyous occasion. A couple of bottles of beer were consumed, party poppers let off. Folks were exhuberant and many smiles were evident!
Some of us had known this all afternoon. But I found it entertaining that many, who had just left their workplaces didn't know. When told however, faces light up and more smiles were added.
May she never ever RIP!
Personally I can never forgive her for the influences on my life, my family and people I have associated with. I have always wished her ill. Goodbye madam!
By the way .... does anyone know where the trade unions or the labour party were???? Just asking.
I would like to take this opportunity to big up a fellow photographers interpretation of the the Thatcher legacy. Please check out David Hoffman, a slideshow at: http://www.hoffmanphotos.com
