So, the 'Iron Lady' is gone...
Well, what can I say? Her relationship and dealings with the Irish people while she was in office are well documented, and as I was taught not to speak ill of the dead, I have nothing to add to history...
But I was very pleased to see my brothers and sisters reaction.
They, like me, didn't 'speak' ill of the dead. No, instead they posted some tunes on Facebook!! So far we have had:
Elvis Costello: Tramp the Dirt Down
The Beat: Whine and grine - Stand down Margaret
Madness: Blue Skinned Beast
What rebels they are!! They made me smile...
I'd like to add my contribution, it reminds me of, and sums up, the Maggie era, and it might make my family smile (for a different reason!!).

Siobhan... you don't smile for the national anthem. I stood and saluted (obviously).
