Hack Blogger Fails to get New Angle on Thatcher Funeral

Thatcher and close pal Savile

In a confession that shocked nobody, hack blogger Mr Chough today admitted that he couldn't think of a new angle on the Thatcher Funeral.

"I'm flummoxed," he admitted.  "I've been thinking all day for a new angle on this happy day, and I just can't come up with anything original."

"I tried to do something on how it's a bit odd for a devout Methodist to have a state funeral in a Cathedral, but the story went off in so many directions I lost it."

"I was also going to comment on how she could now join her pals mass-murdering dictator Augusto Pinochet, and serial paedophile and rapist Jimmy Savile, but it's been done before."

"As I was coming home, I speculated that the strong winds might be a cataclysmic battle between the forces of good and evil as they fought for the other side to take her soul, but that's all too similar to the story I wrote on the day she died."

"I even considered a serious article about how many of the foundation stones of 'broken Britain' were laid in her reign, but Ken Livingstone expressed that perfectly well without my help."

"So all I can do is muse that while for many years we burned effigies of Thatcher, some lucky sod at Mortlake Crematorium got to burn the real thing."
