Paul Staines  seemingly quotes Margaret Thatcher on her mortality…  "  ”You mean simply by being alive I’m annoying the left? … Well I hope to annoy them for a long time to come!” "

Staine's quote has now spread widely amongst other fogies but I am not sure whether there is an original version of that alleged Thatcher comment, or whether it arises from the air.

The fact remains that there are a lot of elderly people in the UK who are not getting the medical support Thatcher is getting, and they should certainly be annoyed about that, since many of them have paid all their lives for it. And in my experience they are unlikely to get simple adequate support in the UK, even if they pay for it.
