I'm surprised he survived as long as he did.

I had no idea that he had liver cancer.

I didn't even know he was ill.

Thus, it was a huge surprise to me.

Such a shame. He was a very intelligent man who wrote some great books (+ screenplays, poems, etc.).

He is the labor supporter even Labor could not stomach. He was not just pro-labor, he was idiotically so.

I was brought up to believe that if you didn't have something nice to say about ones passing you keep your mouth shut, you obviously had a less than fortunate upbringing. We can only imagine the obituaries the day you free us all of your presence and become maggot food.

That's strange, I don't recall you saying anything about those who were actually celebrating when Margaret Thatcher died. All that longy did was make a statement/observation about the man.

what about them?

yes, there were people on here that celebrated when Thatcher died. Just as there were some that celebrated when Hazel Hawke passed away. Is that the attitude of some on here? Because they did it we will too? By and large, the majority of posters have civility and respect when someone - regardless of their political association passes on - they tend to remember the milestones that person left to the rest of mankind. They remember the good things.

They did it, so we will too is an extremely childish view to take - but no surprise given from whom it is coming
