The Iron Lady Restem In Infernum


This morning the funeral cortege of Margaret Thatcher was taken from Westminster to a funeral service at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Millions lined the streets of London to pay homage to the Old Lady, who was Britain’s longest serving prime minister of modern times. The funeral service was simple in accordance with the deceased’ wishes. Members of the family and Conservative party were bereft with grief for Thatcher, who sat at 10 Downing Street through the Falklands War, the Poll Tax riots, the privatization of public housing, the escape of Chilean dictator Pinochet, the IRA hunger strikes, and the violent police repression of the coal workers.

Britons proudly claim that Mrs. Thatcher put the ‘great’ back in Great Britain.

She certainly had a way about her and that way wasn’t to the pleasure of many, however no large-scale protests marred the proceedings, even though DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD is # 1 on the BBC.

And they have that right.

Even iron melts in a fire.
