VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|tim555|DATE|1366189676|CONTENT|I initially thought that the death parties were in rather bad taste but now that the establishment has metaphorically stuck two fingers up to the millions who despised Mrs T by having a taxpayer funded, quasi state funeral and silencing Big Ben I feel that they have thrown the gauntlet down and are saying &#039;up yours! you plebs&#039; to the mass of the population. The BBC seems also to be in full forelock tugging mode (even though Mrs T disliked the BBC). When you reflect on the BBC&#039;s approach to the Pope&#039;s visit, the royal wedding and now this, it seems to me that the Beeb is far too eager prostrate itself and to show it&#039;s ruling class mindset. As for Mrs T, The frequent comparison with Churchill is fatuous and the fact that her withdrawal of the naval protection of the Falklands encouraged the invasion seldom mentioned.|IP-ADDRESS|2.103.0.92|MODERATIONFLAG|
