Ding Dong the witch is dead? I think it is unfair to witches to call Mrs Thatcher a witch because when I first met Lou she was thumbing a lift so I stopped to pick her up. During our chat I asked her what she did for a living. She said “I am a Witch” I said ‘I don’t believe you’ she then put her hands on both of my knees and I turned into a lay-by and I have been a WITCH lover ever since!
I spent from 1968 to the mid eighties in the North East of England amongst the ‘GEORDIES’ who did not deserve the massive disruption and unhappiness to their lives with total wipe-out of the mining and steel industries causing record unemployment and the breakups of communities and families. I cannot find any sense of humour about those dreadful dark days, weeks, months, years and decades but I could clearly understand the loathing that the Northerners had for Thatcher and I share their party spirit now that she is no more! REJOICE! Amen.
