Hmmm might forgive them on that then! haha
Although the way it was reported and the fact they mentioned 'Celebrities that have been invited...' still rankles with me. Why mention it? :confused:

BBC News just announced that 2000 guests have been invited to Thatcher's funeral. Celebrities have also been invited such as Jeremy Clarkson, Shirley Bassey etc WTF??! f*ck it, why don't they invite James Cordon and JLS along for a sing song too. Celebrity culture... what a joke. This is where this country is going wrong. RIP Britain!!!

....Why should it bother you?

"Celebrities" is just a generic term to cover those invited friends/guests who don't have a more formal title but who are well known to the public.

Anyway, the media's interpretation of what/who is a celeb is pretty dodgy anyway.

I'd definitely agree with that Robin!
It just seems that there is no escaping 'celebrity culture'.
You pick up a paper and you have Jordan and Simon Cowell plastered all over it for some kind of blatant publicity nonsense.

The tv is more and more saturated by the notion of celebrity. Forgetting the reality programmes, you also have for example 'Victoria Wood's Nice Cup Of Tea'. Is it they can only sell it to us, if its endorsed by some celebrity? Then, they have guests on such as Morrisey and Dr Who to tell us about how to drink a cup of tea...  :confused:

Now, even on the BBC, instead of reporting that there will be a funeral attended by 2000 invited guests. They had to report that celebrities such as.... will also be attending (and then showing their photos on screen). Just seems totally un-necessary to me.

Sorry, I'm just having a rant.

Robin, if you could post one of your 'lady pictures' to cheer me up, it would be very much appreciated. I won't even mind if it was of a celebrity...  :signLOL:

....Yes, I would be. I'm just applauding wigit's suggestion for being very witty - I wouldn't actually contribute to such a campaign because it would make me and others no better than those I criticise.

Looking at the pictures of the "party" in Trafalgar Sq last night and nice to see the great un-washed have made the effort, seriously I actually wonder if half of rent a mob would even know who she was or were even born when she left government. Pathetic attempt to hijack any excuse to cause disruption and a waste of valuable police resources. I wonder how many times someone said "shouldn't you be out catching real criminals like rapists and peados".

Margaret Thatcher, loved in the north like Tony Blair is loved in Basra!!!!!!!

Aye the usual scruffy barstewardss who turn up at any protest , all students who like to think they are impoverished and down with the concerns of inner city Britain , but when they are finished putting Home Bargains window out or smashing up German cars , they get picked up by Mummy in her Range Rover and whisked back to their 5 bed detatched. Total and utter tossers of the highest order - I bet they wouldnt be as hard if our coppers were armed. PS Margaret Thatcher was the best PM this country has had since Winston Churchill. Tony B-liar and Gordon Clown arent fit to zip up her handbag.
