Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish

The second half of the Reagan & Thatcher double act has kicked the bucket! About bloody time, too!

Back in 2006, I spent my first Mayday in the UK at an Anarchist event in London. During the long weekend, somebody handed me a card with an invitation to a party on the Saturday after she finally buys the farm. That was nearly seven years ago. Wonder if the party's still going forward...

ETA: This poem sums thing up beautifully!

Yes, very well said. Thanks for sharing that.

As right as it feels that she finally is off this Earth, I said something very similar earlier. She was a horrid person, and the damage she inflicted on this country will take decades to recover from. She paved the way for Cameron's current "Big Society" which has tripled tuition, shredded the social safety net, and is in the process of privatising the NHS. But all that damage is already done, and her death will not undo it. There are very real battles in the here-and-now that matter as much today as resistance to Thatcher's evil did then.

Meanwhile, I am half considering applying for permanent residency in Australia. I understand you can get it before even arriving.

You're welcome.

Also, this. :)

I'm pretty sure there's already a lot of Tory-like priviatsation and other corporate scheming happening in Australia, alas. Besides, it seems to either catch fire or knock buildings down quite a lot, which doesn't seem too safe.

Speaking of Australia, though, here's a novel I think you'd enjoy reading. The PDF's free, and ePub and dead tree versions are reasonably priced.
