Jeff Danziger for April 09, 2013

This is a great and subtle jab at Thatcher and her lemming fans. I love it.

Maggie took Ronnie’s advice. “When your ratings get low, just start a war.”

Maggie not so much into freebies.

The local paper had a picture of Scots dancing in the street in celebration.

That Socialist bartender is probably a Fascist Communist Muslim, too, innit?

i don’t know why that’s funny, but it is!

Hah! I like that! She and Reagan are catching up in hell!

Dear Mr. Danziger. I love your work, but your grip on how the UK looks and feels, especially how UK pubs look and feel seems to be stuck on a time warp. Your portrayals smack of the ’60’s and a culture north of the watford gap. Should I wonder how accurate your renditions of denizens of the southern states are?

A quality pint costing say £3.50 over here yields a tax take per pint of almost £1.14. See http://www.camra.org.uk/beertax

What we actually did when she died was hold street parties and give out “Maggie’s dead” cakes to strangers. This was reported for a few hours, then the reporting suddenly stopped in the national papers and TV. Local media continued to cover it.

People are still wearing “Still Hate Thatcher” T-shirts.
