You're not a native speaker? I thought you were a fellow Mancunian.

Oh, no! Whatever will we do? The loquacious Andrew Sullivan disagrees with us?

Quickly, my fainting couch!

Probably "Sod off", but I'm not a native speaker either.

Edit: BTW, there's a second track in one of Fakakta's youtubes (a playlist, I guess), that is some kind of comedy panel show -- possibly called Mock the Week. They are discussing plans for Maggie's funeral. I think it may have actually occurred after some previously incorrect report of her death.

Anyhow, after a bit of chat, this one fellow says (try to hear this in a mild Scots accent): "How much are they going to spend? Three million? For three million, they could give everyone in Scotland a shovel, and we'd dig a hole so deep we could hand her off to Satan directly".

Does Great Britain have a Peggy Noonan-type worshiper for Thatcher? They can have ours if not.

Hey Steve Stockman, Thatcher alienated her party so much they deposed her and left a country in as bad an economic condition as she found it, only now mired in the scandals her cronies were committing. Her own-party successor somehow managed to win the next election only to be doomed by the crushing weight of the recession she created.

So, <em>exactly</em> like St. Ronnie.

I just can't get over how much she looks like John Major in that gif.

That also could be poop you're smelling, check your shoes just to be sure. You don't want to track Hannity all over the house.

That Obama keeps doing things, and/or not doing things!

You can totally see exactly why that would enrage them.

You know, the more I think about it, it seems like nothing he ever does makes them happy.

That was just her hairstyle.

In a similar fashion to the "Friedman Unit," now, thanks to these wingnuts, we can measure people's relative status on The Ebert Continuum.

It takes 4 Thatcher deaths to make one Ebert.
