Signed this earlier. Have to wonder why this little band of Tories want to have a day every year for people to dance on the grave and burn effigies. But if they are going to propose one to celebrate the witch's death why didn't they choose November 5th?

Signed yesterday, but thank you for posting the link. I have shared on FB

I think they should make it Tony Blair Day.   I am sure he would not charge too much for using his name.

Yep signed and circulated it yesterday.  On the case of Thatch, I'm not sure she'd have wanted it anyway.  Remember she did not want a state funeral it was only a section of neo Thatcherite Tories who pressed it for political advantage.  As to TB in the very unlikely event of such an offer I'm not sure his vanity would ever have allowed him to decline it - cash or no cash incentive)
