The Blessed Margaret Library

The Blessed Leaderene

Supporters of Baroness Thatcher are planning to create a museum, library and educational centre as a permanent memorial to the former prime minister. Backers aim to raise £15m in private funds to set up the site in London. The Conservative Way Forward pressure group headed by Lady Thatcher until her death is spearheading the project. Based on the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in the US, it aims to promote Lady Thatcher's political philosophy and shape future Conservative politics.

of Parliament donated (along with the Public Bathouse alongside)
by Andrew Carnegie for the use of the "Working Classes."
Now as the expensive Cinnamon Club and yuppie flats it is a Pleb Free zone

Maybe it could be housed in the fine library Andrew Carnegie built free of charge around the corner from the Houses of Parliament in Westminster in Great Smith Street? Sold off by the asset stripping Tory Westminster Council to keep the Belgravia Poll Tax artificially low it is now the expensive Cinnamon Club frequented by well expensed Tories and FibDems. It was replaced by a truly crappy library above the "One Stop Shop" in City Hall in Victoria St. About a quarter of the size of its predecessor demand slumped because of its poor stock and very deliberately it was designed as the type of Library nobody would / could want to stay reading in?

The reassuringly Pleb Free interior of the Library today.
A quick glance at the menu shows it is not aimed at low life's
eking out a miserable existence on £53 a week.

A couple of years ago Shirley Cohen's love children closed this excuse for a Public Library down along with the One Stop Shop which of course was attracting too many irritating whinging poor people with silly problems to City Hall. Westminster Council decreed "the poor shall use the internet", but they could not eat this tech cake at the closed down libraries?

No doubt the Blessed Margaret would be delighted that her library (Collected works of Jeffrey Archer, Jonathan Aitken's Confession, Anybody for Denis?..) is housed in a building donated by a Scottish Philanthropist who oppressed the workers, busted unions and killed strikers  and made "his" money by abusing the market leading the US of A to bring in "Anti-Trust" laws. The fact that it was then asset stripped by the most rapacious Tory Council in the country which was headed by a Thatcher “mini Me” Dame Shirley Porter can only add to the piquant posthumous pleasure of The Blessed Leaderene.

magnificent and airy Great Smith St Library asset stripped
by Westminster Council. They then closed this Library in 2011

Shirley Porter was described by a fellow Tory as “the High Priestess of Sleaze” and her actions were described thus by Kit Malthouse, current Deputy Mayor of London, “The highest court in the land found her guilty of gerrymandering. There isn't a much worse offence than that in politics. It is definitely up there in the hall of infamy." Dame Shirley (there has been no Tory clamour for her title to be taken away) was surcharged £42 M by the District Auditor for these abuses. In the spirit of personal responsibility championed by Lady Thatcher she promptly shagged off to Israel having first put her assets into offshore trusts and settled many years later for £12.3 Million.

Let us now recite the words of St. Francis of Assisi paraphrased by the Blessed Leaderene on the steps of No. 10 after she kissed hands with the Queen and became Prime Minster in 1979.

Perhaps, whatever gifts Margaret Thatcher had she did not have the gift of prophecy?

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace.

That where there is hatred I may bring love,

That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness,

That where there is discord, I may bring harmony,

That where there is error I may bring truth,

That where there is doubt I may bring faith,

That where there is despair I may bring hope,

That where there are shadows I may bring light,

That where there is sadness I may bring joy.
