Further to Andrew's post below, less actively activist Thatcher-haters contented themselves yesterday with creating a #nowthatcherisdead hashtag as a one-stop shop for gleeful if witless Tweets. Unfortunately, this being the "knowledge economy" and "information age" and all, fellow Tweeters read it as "now that cher is dead", and responded accordingly:

Craig Morrison @craig_mo5

cant beleive cher is dead!! #nowthatcherisdead #omg

Etc.

Not sure Cher was Maggie's cup of tea. To the best of my knowledge, Mrs T's favorite songs were "Baby, It's Cold Outside", "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?", and Rolf Harris' classic "Two Little Boys".
