Elvis Costello Can finally Tramp The Dirt Down now that Thatcher is Dead

10. I don't like the song and dance. Her family deserves to have

peace at this time. They are not responsible for what she did to Britain.

But, "someone of note"?

Are you talking about Margaret Thatcher? Margaret Thatcher?

I don't think she was a person of note. Quite to the contrary.

Just because she connived her way to the position of prime minister does not mean that she was in any way a person of note.

Ghandi was a person of note.

Abraham Lincoln was a person of note.

Even John F. Kennedy was a person of note.

Ghandi, Lincoln and Kennedy held up for us the highest standards of justice and hope. Margaret Thatcher did not.

Margaret Thatcher will go down in the annals of history as a minor character, a fly on the pages of time, unremarkable, rather petty, certainly over-confident, but not noteworthy at all.

Her family deserves its time to mourn her death.

Great Britain and the world mourned her living. That's over. May she rest in peace and anonymity.
