I hope Briish comrades on this list do their duty and let us know what is being said on the ground among the people. Such is the dominanace of "official truth" in the bourgeois media here in Australia that it is hard to get beyond the "tributes pour in" line. Though stuff is fltering through. Thus the deputy editor of the Sun did say "nasty things" were being said about Thatcher on Twitter. My heart leaped with relief. Lou, as is his wont when a hero of the bourgeoisie dies, prefaced his post with "rot in hell". I second that heartily. It is so important that there be a people's carnival over Thatcher's death. Her heirs and wannabes in the Tory and Labour parties need to be "encouraged". comradely Gary On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 10:44 PM, Louis Proyect <l...@panix.com> wrote: > ==============================**==============================**========== > Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > ==============================**==============================**========== > > > NY Times April 8, 2013 > Margaret Thatcher Dies; Remade Britain > By ALAN COWELL > > LONDON — Margaret Thatcher, a towering, divisive and yet revered figure > who left an enduring impact on British politics, died on Monday of a > stroke, her family said. > > “It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that > their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this > morning,” a statement from her spokesman, Lord Tim Bell, said. > > Lady Thatcher had been in poor health for months.
