Whilst we're talking about whether we are saying or not saying things, I'm sure I never said I wished her dead either. However I make no secret of the fact that I will be celebrating her passing when it happens.

I do recall Brian wishing to bring back hanging or other severe forms of punishment . So its ok for some criminals to be severely punished and not others?

Jon14, I take it that you were a fan of Thatcher and Thatcherism which is why you take this matter to heart. The fact remains is that she was loathed by a large number of people and has probably the greatest security presence post office than other former PMs as a result. She earned that honour by her views and actions- many actions that most people including much of her own party, found absolutely repugnant. Jon, she was responsible for civil unrest, mass unemployment, and murder, yes murder, which has been sanitised by the press and the establishment, but murder it was.

Why don't you tell me how the sinking of the Belgrano was justified in your eyes and why letting the Irish hunger strikers die was a constructive measure. You are clearly determined to get her off the hook, so lets hear you put your case.
