Hi All
Below is an extract from yesterday's The Sunday Times which references the late, great RP in the Rod Liddle column, the text being copied as below:
Thatch statch can be whatever you want
Plans for a bronze statue of Margaret Thatcher to be placed outside parliament have run into problems. It is feared that it might attract protest, seeing as how Fatcha murdered millions of poor people during her time in office (© The Left).
Among those who condemn the proposals is Labour MP and former football hooligan Ian Lavery, who said “working-class people ... would not stand for a Tory shrine”. Well, they voted for her, mate, in droves. Lavery was once right-hand man to that intelligent and likeable guardian of the people, Arthur Scargill.
I’ve seen the statue and I have a compromise. Put it up by parliament, but don’t put a name on it. If you do that, everyone will think it’s the late Rick Parfitt of Status Quo, and nobody will be upset.
