Hashtagging Highlights (Part 2) #ThatcherFuneral

Mourning all #ThatcherFuneral


So Sarah Ferguson invited to but not (2011) or has she got a really slow postal service?

Terry Wogan in BBC studio before & now at Was Iron lady one of the 's (Terrys Old Geezers) She had the balls for it

Mark Thatcher, Michael Thatcher, Amanda Thatcher arrive. 'Thatcher Die Nasty', sorry I mean't Dynasty.

ITV coverage started at 10.30am, my tv guide said it would start 9.25am. There'd be riots on the streets if they cancelled Jeremy Kyle

BBC News Channel ticker running along bottom of the screen: UNEMPLOYMENT RISIES BY 70,000 - Maggie strikes one last time?

UNEMPLOYMENT RISIES BY 70,000 - No guv I'm just taking the morning off to tweeet blog the

Hard to tell if the yells in the background are protests or part of the Military procedure. I'm guessing its protestors



Here comes the Queen. And Philip looking happy. Probably been reading my tweets on his blackberry

Its where he gets all his material ^^

What would have been interesting (by interesting i mean fun) is if were still at St Pauls in their tents

"DON'T DROP THE COFFIN" as Barry Albin-Dyer would say.

Big Ben silent for the mo(u)rning & rain is back for the day. Looks like the clocks have gone back and summer is cancelled

Hey David Mellor - why the long face?

David Mellor could star in a remake of I AM THE WALRUS

We recall with great gratitude what she did for this country. Speak for yourself cocker.

Sally Bercow turned down her invitation. Probably took on a part time job (modelling flags?) to pay her legal bills.

"GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY MILK"

Amanda Thatcher is the new Pippa Middleton

And now the winners of the 'The Great British Choir Off Factors Got Talent' or whatever they call it

In my fathers house, there are many mansions. Is he referring to the bedroom tax?

BEDROOM TAX ALERT!

The Right Honourable Charles Hawtry (Sorry they took the name down too quick) Britains Number One George Carlin Tribute Act

I thought Carol Thatcher was asleep there

And now from Charles Hawtry/George Carlin "Seven Words You Can Never Say on TV"

I miss George Carlin

Blimey - Heseltine turned up.



refereed by Ken Clarke. Tebbit to start the goading with 'ON YER BIKE TARZAN'

Last time I saw this many bald blokes was at the Harry Hill lookalike convention

  1. I haven't seen queues like this outside newsagents since Leadenhall News started selling Exchange & Mart on wednesday night

  2. MAGGIE! MAGGIE! MAGGIE! ˢᵒᵘᵛᵉᶰᶦʳ ᶦˢˢᵘᵉ OUT! OUT! OUT! ᶰᵒʷ

And now - Britains Number One Pope Trevor Francis lookalike - the only Argentine invited to the party - I mean funeral

And now the Reverend William Hill, taking odds on the second coming

All the protestors have been infiltrated during the service and killed with a dart.

And now onto the after party, or wake as some call it, at the Leicester Square Theatre
Hardly worth some of the old boys leaving

Clarkson. I thought he was driving the car?

I wish I didn't fancy Michael Howard.
Not as many retweets as or Am I getting less funny or is twitter saturated now? thatcherated even

Hashtagging Highlights (Part 1) - #Thatcher

Welcome to the first in a new series.
And to start - my tweet reactions to the death of the Iron (Bar) lady.
Check back later for #funeral highlights.
or follow live on twitter @radiogagger (Where else?)


Breaking News: North Korea have begun testing nuclear weapons. In related news - Margaret #Thatcher is dead.


  1. Is she definitely dead - can someone whack her one more time to make sure?

  2. Professor PJ Miles ‏@radiogagger8 Apr
    You can tell its a solemn day - David Mellor has taken his Chelsea shirt off for BBC interview

  3. Professor PJ Miles ‏@radiogagger8 Apr
    We are a Grandmother no more

  4. handbag for sale in the Westminster area - one careful (and crazed) owner

  5. Just heard the tragic news - they postponed this afternoons episode of 'Homes Under The hammer' for an extended BBC news report

Things are incredibly baronessless now without Baroness Thatcher.



"In At Number 10 - The Musical Tribute to Maggie"

BBC decide whether to play or ban 'Ding Dong The Wicked With Is Dead' from Sundays chart - I bet Carol & Mark #Thatcher don't even listen to Radio 1

Three different versions of 'The Wicked Witch Is Dead' are rising up the charts. Typical #Thatcher - divisive even in death. 

BBC may ban 'Ding-Dong The Witch is Dead from the top 40 countdown' >> Damn! Next you'll be canceling Top Of The Pops




  1. Ding Dong The Wicked Witch - 2 minute feature & vox pop on Radio 1 about a 51 second record, compromise or even more publicity?
  2. Margaret 'The Wicked Witch is Dead' in the charts between Pink & Justin Timberlake, its what she would have wanted #appropriate #crymeariver



"Are You On The Guest List?"


  1. F.W. De Klerk on guest list for funeral - fair play, without doubt the best Leyton Orient manager of the 80s and early 90s.

  2. Seriously, Jeremy Clarkson on the guest list for Baroness funeral? In place of who - and cast?

  3. Alongside living Presidents & Prime Ministers, Jeremy Clarkson on guest list for Margaret funeral > is their space in the coffin?

  4. What a week for William Hague - he loses one hero in , but gains a new one in Angelina Jolie





Jeremy Clarkson on the guest list for funeral - and all those armed guards ad police on duty - WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

For those of you asking what was Baroness to women I give you Louise Mensch, Nadine Dorres and Sarah Palin

Trouble expected at funeral of Baroness funeral >> what do you expect when you invite Jeremy Clarkson?


wasn't invited to funeral dress rehearsal, guess that means I'll not be at real thing Wednesday (stay at home tweeting it is then)


That was a good plan by the government to arrange a Millwall fight at Wembley as the same time as #Thatcher death party in Trafalgar Square on Saturday
