A mild kerfluffle over mistaken identity due to lack of clarity. Ironically, that was a real “milk-snatcher”, indeed.
(Note to self: Make sure my emails don’t provide an exercise in mindreading)
don’t worry. the devil wouldn’t kill a bad thing.
If it was Canada, it’s as likely to have been about convicted murderer & former conservative cabinet minister Colin Thatcher, who has recently been released on day parole after being convicted of hiring hitmen to kill his wife with a hammer.
A cynical person might imagine a deliberate ploy to see how public opionion would react.
John Baird is not that smart. Besides, she’s been the real Lady Gaga for years.
True for ye..makes a change from all the Ulster stuff..

I already knew that I was a cynic now didn’ I?
I always thought it was somebody else’s opinion of your reasoning.
One is never cynical to oneself…unless of course, you’re a walking disaster area.
Oscar never said that…

I do try to be pragmatic about it

One might. But, does she even hold any sway that much any more these days, that public opinion would matter enough for a rather ghoulish ploy like that? Honest question. This Yank tends to think of her as, basically, a has-been. A has-been that no one can seem to forget, true, but: you know. History. Of course, the passing of people of note is always a matter of interest.
I find it hard to find any humour in Thatcher-related matters. When she does finally manage to go and join the choir invisible I sincerely hope she’ll get a grandstand seat, preferably sitting right next to General Pinochet.
