Mrs Jack Dromey (aka Ms Harriet Harman) has been stirring it up again. With the Government in a compete mess and the nation feeling the pinch after years of boom and borrow Hatty decides it's time to thrown a bone to the politically correct guardianista brigade. So she wades in to inform us all that no decision has been taken as to whether to grant Lady Thatcher a State Funeral (Guardian article).
I have written previously on CentreRight about how disgusting it is for this debate to be going on while Lady Thatcher remains in good health and for the unreconstructed left to share with us the thoughts of their disordered and rather sick minds on the subject. For Harman to wade into this debate is gut wrenching.
Let's be clear on two things, Hatty. Number one, you assert that no decision has been taken on the subject. Correct. That would be because Lady Thatcher is alive and well (and in very good shape as the picture above demonstrates when we had a small Sunday lunch party last weekend at the home of mutual friends). Secondly, she says no decision has been taken to grant what would be the final honour. That would also be true. But Hatty should be aware that it will be sod all to do with her when the time comes. Such decisions are made by the Monarch of the day on the advice of the Prime Minister of the day and as such will be nothing to do with Harperson.
I suppose her intervention does serve some useful purpose: to see the words 'Thatcher' and 'Harman' in the same sentence reminds everyone what a giant Thatcher was and what a pygmy Harman is. Thatcher was (and is) stylish, courageous and iconic. Harman is spiteful, chippy and incompetent. Margaret Thatcher ran a nation for over a decade. Harman in 1997 could hardly run a Department for a year. When Gordon Brown surveys the empty cupboard that is Britain's public finances he must sometimes regret that when Frank Field thought the unthinkable on welfare reform (which would have saved billions) that he didn't have more people of the calibre of Margaret Thatcher around. Instead he had Harriet Harman for whom the unthinkable was unintelligible. Margaret Thatcher wasn't sacked after a year in the cabinet for being useless. Harriet Harman was. With Hatty's record she would do well to shut up.
