If we are still a democracy by then.

LoL at the idea that we will cease to be a democracy between now and 2015. Talk about hyperbole...
No. I don't think so. The Tories are far behind Labour in the Polls. Its pretty obvious that they will probably creep up a few points due to Thatcher's funeral but unless they change their policies, it won't last. The media will soon think of something else to go on about after next Wednesday.

Labour shouldn't be afraid of being different to the Tories. As the Libs are now seen as part and parcel of the Tories and therefore the Establishment, Labour are the only real alternative, just as they were in 1997, 2001, and 2005. They just have to hold their nerve.
they can demonstate all their sad little lives allow, but....

MT will always have one over on nearly every single pathetic last one of them.

during her life she reached the highest office in serving her country and has lived to the ripe old age of 87

for the most part these anarchists have done nothing, will do nothing, and will amount to nothing and some may live to 87 and some wont.

the only comfort they get is celebrating the death of someone who was successful by any stretch of the imagination and beat them and theyre silly idealistic utopian ideals, how pathetic they really are...i suppose theyll all be drinking pints of sad and bitter no doubt !

they are truly showing themselves up for what they really are, they should be embarrassed at their behaviour, no doubt some will as they perhaps grow up amd mature a bit and look back and realise how stupid and foolish theyre making themselves look.

they can celebrate and demonstrate all they like but theyll still have to wake up and admit MT phukked over every last one of them....whos having the last laugh now

Final Score
MT 1 - 0 Leftie and other assorted handwringers et al

It was a tongue in the cheek sarcastic remark, couldn't you see that?

No, obviously you couldn't.
The spelling mistake in your badly thought-out rant above didn't go amiss baz. Not normally allowed on AB.

That's providing the electorate can, seeing Labour's past track record.
Well no, AoG, I couldn't - because you gave no indication in your post that you were being sarcastic, or ironic, or that it was an attempt at humour.

You have often claimed that people have misunderstood you, but rather than reflect upon what that might mean about your own posts, or what you can do to aid the reader in understanding when you are attempting to be sarcastic, or humorous, or ironic, you instead prefer to blame the readers for failing to comprehend your pearls of wisdom, nuggets of humour, or elegant irony.

Didn't you miss a couple of '0's off MT's score?
What about the football fans threatening violence against peaceful protesters?
AoG - if speech is 90% delivery, or whatever teh figure is, then don't be surprised if some joke you make in jsut writing is going to be missed. It's impossible to tell if someone is being sarcastic or not just by reading. You really should allow for that and not be surprised if peopel grab hold of the wrong end of the stick on your posts.
Really aog, it has come to something when people on here think you are being serious, don't you agree ?

No I expect my opposition to be intelligent enough to realise that I could not possibly be saying that we will see an end on democracy by the next election day, it may take a little longer.
@mikey

yeah, whatever you say mikey

@AOG
Youre undoubtedly correct, I was just rounding down the scores,, feel free to add a few "0"s, it was a sound thrashing either way you look at it !
Who's having the last laugh now?

Well lets look at the history of Thatcherism

Rejected by her own party after they thew her out for John Major who then got re-elected

3 election victories for Labour

1 coalition victory with a PM who's light years away from being a Thatcherist


I'd say Thatcherism's about as dead as - well add your own similee

Who's having the last laugh? Well it's not the Thatcherites is it?
@AoG I would imagine you think that is a real zinger, AoG. Have you dislocated your arm yet, patting yourself on the back?

I would expect contributors to threads like these to be inteliigent enough to indicate when they are attempting to be funny, or ironic, or sarcastic, and to engage in a bit of self-reflection when they claim to be continually misunderstood.

Let me help you out a bit.

"If we are still a democracy by then."
Serious and deluded.

"If we are still a democracy by then :)"
An attempt at humour, and worth a wry lift of the eyebrow or a small chuckle.

See the difference?
@JTP

yeah, it took 3 labour terms to practicalyl destroy the country, normally thats expected in one term from them, but they had a lot of good work to undo...still , they managed it in the end..and how, they did what the miners couldnt....bring the country to its knees

Way to go Tony, lets not forget Gaudy Brown, dont want to have him sulkingl

/// Well lets look at the history of Thatcherism ///

I wouldn't go down this road if I were you.

/// Rejected by her own party after they thew her out for John Major who then got re-elected ///

Elected by her own party as the first woman PM in history, who was brave enough to take on the unions and to get the country back on it's feet after the disastrous Wilson and James Callaghan Labour governments.

/// 3 election victories for Labour ///

But disastrous for the country.

4 election victories for the Conservatives, 3 of them under Mrs Thatcher.
