(satire – probably)
There was anger today after former Tory Party leader Margaret Thatcher was accused of trying to bury a report by accountancy firm BDO LLP which showed that Britain’s economy will struggle to gather momentum until the second half of the year – by dying.
Suspicions were stoked by the timing of Lady Thatcher’s death which came on the same day the BDO LLP survey was published confirming the prospects for the UK were not improving even as business sentiment and hiring intentions improve.
However, a spokesperson for the Conservatives denied Mrs Thatcher’s death was in any way connected to the bad economic news:
I can categorically confirm that Baroness Thatcher’s death was not timed to coincide with this report – because let’s face it if every time we got bad economic news one of us had to pop off, there wouldn’t be many of us left in the Tory Party, would there?

Perhaps she was overcome by the weight of grief to see the sorry state of the country nowadays compared to the thriving state of the economy after 12 years of rampant Thatcherism?? [Tributes pouring in from: Ronald Reagan, Augusto Pinochet, Geoffrey Howe and Tony Blair…]

I don’t think it will take three days in her coffin to rise Nuggy, we’d best get over there and wait with the stakes… You DID mean wooden stakes right? Or were you suggesting that we have a barbeque?

Yes, there is one school of thought which claims that Osama Bin Laden died in December, 2001, but Obama “organised a secret mission” to kill Bin Laden on May 1, 2011 so that he could triumphalise his success and get re-elected.
