Upon learning the "news" via mobile or Blackberry at a soiree honoring Canadian military families Tuesday, some 2,000 shocked Conservatives, said to revere the Iron Lady, and their advisors reportedly huddled to discuss a reaction.

The prime minister's office called Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street to confirm that Margaret Thatcher had indeed passed away -- baffling British officials, CanWest News Service said.

It turned out the message was sent by Canadian Transport Minister John Baird from his home in Toronto to a person at the gala dinner to say his beloved 16-year-old gray tabby cat, named for Margaret Thatcher, 84, had died.

The recipient then forwarded it to others.

A spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office was not immediately available for comment.

What would be so brilliant about her dying anyway? When she does, there will be so much deification of her from various quarters that the "800 years" brigade will be wishing her alive... :pac:

I think the interesting aspect of this is that she is reviled across several different communities not just here in Ireland. I don't know everything about her and what she has done, but what I do know disgusts me. I might not be dancing in the streets when she does pop her clogs but I like many others won't be shedding a tear either.

Bit of pigeon holing there. I'm a fan of some of the things she did but to hell if i'm going to try debate it here.

On a side note. The death of other people being mocked would have mod warnings flashed left right and centre. You'd swear she was some mass murderer or something.

EDIT: I see she's not dead at all. Ah well!

Nearly wasted a good bottle of bolly there...

What the hell kind of cat name is thatcher? That's only encouraging the neighbours to run over it.

I'm with your Dad on this one.

First off I was nearly trembling opening the link, I'd been sleeping most of the day and hadn't seen a news.

I was hoping the horrible bitch had died, sadly it was a cat (whose life I'd place above Thatchers any day).

Then I was thinking, 'off licence' and celebrate with some friends.

Reading the right-wingers here on boards 'serious forums' I am convinced they would Love her as Taoiseach right now;):)

watched a program on her life not so long ago....TBH I always admired her stleeyness...stand up to the unions...f*ck the IRA attitude....taking milk from the school kids....all done with a resolve and a zeal many modern politicians today could with taking a lesson from!!!

A sad day indeed when she does pass on!

Don't worry, she deserves it. Absolutely vile creature.
She ruined this country.

"There's no such thing as community" Well there isn't anymore you old bitch, because of you.

It'll be a great day for this country when she does go to hell.

Yes She did,but the Unions had lost sight of what their role was!They were at least as power hungry as She was.

She was Never going to be re-elected but for the war.
The Economy{Stupid;):)}gave her the second and ill fated third term.
The poll Tax brought her down.

Jeez people sure know their prioritys!!!!;)
