oh she destroyed the lives of whole
communities that I represented and was
close to I was an honorary member of the
Mine Workers Union as far back as 1983
she totally destroyed the lives of a
million people in the other people on
the left who say well I can't respect
her for what she did uh in economic
terms I can respect her for being the
first woman who broke that glass ceiling
who became uh prime minister of this
country can you respect that how did it
profit us to have a woman as prime
minister when she acted as the most
wicked man might have acted she did
nothing for women in politics Barbara
Castle the labor woman leader the best
woman prime minister we never had that
would have been a real smashing of the
not Margaret thater you can't even
respect a frail 87y old woman who dies
like any other 87y old woman me please
Adam that sanctimony Sky News BBC and
the rest were dancing on the grave of
Hugo Chavez just a few weeks ago a big
public
figure I don't think we danc on his
grave once you did you did and I watched
covered his death no but you covered a a
a wave of attacks and name calling
against him well as we've done with
thater well but you're well that's why
you're here I mean well I'm here but she
died a week ago and it's the first time
I've been here you haven't called me in
a week which is quite unusual but that's
up to you I have other means of getting
my point of view across my point is that
she did not respect the lives of the
people whose communities she destroyed
and I don't respect her and it would be
hypocrisy to pretend to do so but you're
trying to stop other people respecting
her as well you're entitled to your view
trying to have prime minister's I mean
why did they have the funeral to clash
with prime minister's questions couldn't
I mean the state organized it why
couldn't it have had it on Tuesday or On
th I believe cricketer is having a
funeral in some pools today Christopher
Martin Jenkins of a block having on
Monday or Tuesday bed blocking but it
could have been on Thursday it could
have been later in the day on Wednesday
there's no reason for Parliament to be
further disrupted by uh this motion and
so I shall oppose it and if there's a
debate tomorrow if I have to speak for
the whole 3 hours myself as you very
well know I'm capable of doing so and I
shall okay George gway thank you very
much indeed I should have said a cricet
commentator I apologize
