Related: About this forumI propose "Dead Witch Day" to be celebrated every year.
It doesn't need government approval. It can be another Guy Fawks kind of day and its momentum can build every year.

(14,891 posts)1. Compromise version of 'Ding Dong' to be sung by Leonard Cohen
http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/arts-entertainment/compromise-version-of-ding-dong-to-be-sung-by-leonard-cohen-2013041265495
A COMPROMISE has been reached to help Britain solve its Ding Dong the Witch is Dead problem. With the BBC under right-wing pressure to ban the song, the broadcaster suggested a version sung by Leonard Cohen, the Canadian music poet.
A spokesman said: The composers of Ding Dong intended it to be triumphalist and optimistic. A witch was dead. A wicked witch.
But while Margaret Thatcher left a divisive legacy, there is no evidence the Wicked Witch of the East took what she felt were the necessary though difficult steps to liberalise the Oz economy."
He added: In order to reflect the true nature of Britains relationship with Lady Thatcher, a Leonard Cohen version would reflect great joy while at the same time being utterly depressing.

May I suggest June 5th. We could even call it 'Bed time for the man behind the curtain day'.
