Whilst I would never wish this disease on anyone, I feel no sympathy for her whatsoever. However, I can already hear trite old prattle coming from Middle England about what a strong leader she was. The battle between democratic socialism and US-backed capitalism was never more harshly exemplified than in Chile. The fact that the man still has legions of supporters (most of whom are well-to-do middle class that prospered under him) sickens me to the stomach. There can never be any reconciliation with these people. Thatcher to them is a god. To me, she embodies greed, jingoism and selfishness. I’ve just read that Thatcher is suffering from dementia.

This is a serious matter which needs to be organised before it is too late. Where are we going to have our party in Manchester when Thatcher dies?
