Snicker. I don't think I even hear her voice any more, I only hear her Spitting Imagge voice (Steve Nallon.)

Now I am usually broadly in agreement with BBC Radio 5 Live.
But this week I'm sick and tired of hearing Nicky Campbell refer to people celebrating the Thatch's death as rejoicing in the death of an elderly and frail old lady. Bollocks to it.

Had she been physically atacked I'd have been right behind him, but she wasn't.
Can't be doing with all this don't-speak-ill-of-the-dead shit.
Poor old Jimmy Savile, frail old man. No. Okay he was a dirty crim and she probably wasn't (who knows - politicians are not known for their honesty in general.)

But she's not being execrated for being frail, old or a woman. Her death as a figurehead is being celebrated. Sorry she ended up unable to remember the harm she caused, but guess what? My Dad is unlikely to be able to recognise us when he dies. And it won't be in the bloody Ritz either.
