The Brits had an anthem ready for when Margaret Thatcher died. Americans should also be prepared.

    I worked for a manufacturer on the engineering side for a while, and we had this absolute manipulator cunt in HR, basically throwing the CEO’s name around like it was a pass to commit murder.

    Once the CEO found out some of the shit she pulled, he dropped the ban hammer immediately. It was such a relief to us all, we were literally skipping and hopping in the hallways shouting “ding dong! the witch is dead!” It was a great moment until we realized a few months later half of the shit she did actually came from him and nothing really changed.

    That last point may or may not be relevant to current times.

      Yeah that’s the worst he was not mad at the actions he was made she was throwing his name around. She was ment to be plausible deniability.

        Exactly, you get what I’m trying to say.

      Is the ban hammer a firing, or was she just kicked from the company servers?

      source
      • madame_gaymes@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        It was a firing, but also booted from the company servers

      It would be HILARIOUS if a military band did that instead of playing Hail to the Chief. He gets off Air Force One and you just hear Fum fum fu fuuum, DUUUUURG.

        I could not for the life of me remember what the price is right failure horn sounded like.

        Then I read your comment and it was like a bolt into my soul.

        Well done, sir.

    He doesn’t deserve it. I wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire.

      I would piss on his grave, though

        I’m not so sure. Get a few dozen full honey trucks that have been roasting in the sun for a few weeks, and have ‘em unload on him. That seems like a fitting purpose for sewage.

      It’s not for him, it’s for everyone who had to survive.

    I’m not saying “ding dong the witch is dead” wasn’t a perfect capture of the sentiment, but it’s also really hard to improve on “Lizzie’s in a box” for the sheer ability to send the most insufferable people on the planet into a frothing rage.

    source
    • harmsy@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      How about “Witch, watch, the ding dong’s dead” instead?

      You will get arrested for public nudity. Package it up beforehand and spread/drop it.

      I will be bottling urine myself so I can piss on his grave. We may bump into each other.

        I don’t want to make your noble task more unpleasant… But have you considered concentrating it down a bit? Less hassle, more pee scent!

      But first, put on a bunch of corpse flower sculptures on it so people know where to shit and piss.

      I imagine the grounds staff will put gravel over that grave. No way grass will ever survive that amount of urine.

    I’d put good money on there already being some pretty good bangers waiting in the vault.

      “Bangers in the Vault”, another British classic about Margaret Thatcher.

  • collapse_already@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Currently, that Tom Petty song with the lyric about “the waiting is the hardest part” seems appropriate.

    Words that rhyme with Trump: chump, grump, slump, bump, rump, lump, hump, Gump, dump, frump(y), pump, thump, clump, stump…

    For Don: gone, pawn, prawn, fong, jong, con, QAnon, Mastadon…

    There’s some pretty inspiring stuff to work with here for sure.

    You worthless bitch

    You fickle shit

    You will spit on me

    You will make me spit

    And when the Judas howl, arise

    And like the Jesus Jews, you epitomize

    And I’ll walk away in spite of you -bauhaus (Crowds)

      It’d be fitting since we adopted other songs for our national anthems.

    So I hadn’t heard this song and went looking for it. There are so many songs celebrating her death. motherjones.com/…/7-songs-margaret-thatcher-funer…

    I’m pretty sure when he keels over it’ll A. be his fault and B. lead to an avalanche of conspiracy theories probably inspiring terrorist attacks. It will not be a day of rejoicing for me.

    We’d be a little late to the party, think she’s been dead for a while.

    We should commission something good.

    I don’t think any existing song is good enough nor should it be dragged down by the association.

    It’s a real shame they stuck this song on the end of a long video. The video is neat but the music video at the end is an absolute banger. Skip to 22:30 if the timestamped link doesn’t work.
