    The amazing thing was just how much anti-people he was. And how people voted to put him into power anyway (I know indirectly on Margaret's coat tails). He was a prime mover for driving home those class divisions, and getting different sections of society to despise other sections of society. Very much an example of the current techniques so frighteningly deployed by even more malign actors on a global social media scale.

    He was one of the inspirations that made me determined not to let them beat me, with their vile class wars. Using the only tool that really works. I absolutely have no class at all. In large part thanks to tebbit and thatchers prototype social gestapo.

    Can't remember a single tebbit bashing from him. Spitting image was good though.

    Motormouth and Motorvation both had extended rants about Normo Tebbs and Mrs T. "First the claw, then the tail, then the hoooooooooooorns........"

    Those tapes were what made me fall in love with standup comedy. I can probably still recite large parts almost word for word.

    Just got in from walking the dogs. The Mrs says Ozzy has died. I've got Sabbath Bloody Sabbath playing on me headphones at that exact moment. Freaky.
