As an admirer of Thatcher I will confess to a being taken in for a few seconds until realising the adress shown wasn't BBC. I wasn't offended and my response might have provided a wry chuckle to the original poster not that he could have seen it. I think that greg has got the way of it in his last post I don't quite get the motivation behind it I certainly would not trust mudcat in future which is a shame as I check mudcat far more often than the BBC newspage. I am relieved that the thread title has been changed.

On a different note I do believe that anyone who wishes such ill harm on another living being can not be a very nice person. Such malice being bared in a community such as this is discordant to the general values expressed within my experience of the folk world. I think it says more about the poster than about the content of the posting. Cllr
