Lady Die 63 Posted October 11, 2005 will be 80 on thursday.But will she make it to her 90th birthday?What do you think? She is having a party with 650 guests to celebrate her 80th birthday on Thursday, so I don't think that she is ready to die just yet. Queen to attend Thatcher's 80th Some people die very soon after reaching a "milestone" birthday. Fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyBrainHurts2 4 Posted October 11, 2005 A lot of people die within 6 months of a birthday. That one probably won't go over well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomb raider 9 Posted October 11, 2005 I sense some repressed negative emotions towards the old bat at this forum. Do you guys ever wonder how a notoriously unpopular politician like the Iron Lady ever managed to get re-elected twice? Do you actually know people that voted for her?! (Not being a Briton, am I permitted to detest everything Thatcherite, by the way? Or do you feel chauvinistic about your pet hatred?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomb raider 9 Posted October 11, 2005 I've never once voted "New Labour", they're a bunch of slimy spivs. I agree, but how can it be an excuse to support the conservatives, I wonder?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know a lot of people who would like to have voted Lib Dem but were worried about splitting the NL vote and letting the Tories in through the back door, so voted NL even though they didn't really want to. I think that if all the people who did that simply voted Lib Dem, the Lib Dem party would be in a very, very strong position. Go Chuck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 42 Posted October 11, 2005 It does not matter which party gets elected into government, whether it is Labour or Conservative. They all act the same way by raising our taxes, cutting our benefits and squandering our money once they are elected into government. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
