The sad news for Robb is that when Murdoch dies he still doesn't move up the table of most hated Aussies...

Good man!

Democracy Manifest guy is still my favourite at present.

“Hopefully when he dies they bury him next to Thatcher so I can save air miles when I need to use the toilet.”

Such a vile human being.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Don’t be such a tart. If I lived near Murdochs grave I’d attach a bog roll holder to his tombstone to save me carrying one up there with my newspaper every morning.

Not sure why Rob would be bothered about Thatcher though, he’s an Aussie who was presumably still a child when she was ousted from office - not like he’s a northern coal miner from the 80’s is it, I could think of plenty of others whose grave I’d take a dump on before hers.

Which dead person was mocked here, Busby?

You're taking a tone of deep moral offence about a mockery of a hypothetical death, when on ethical issues involving the erosion of democracy, gross violations of human rights, economic policies that generate misery and death, your response ranges from a cynical shrug to active support. But reading someone joke about urinating on the grave of a still living man - *that's* vile, that's what rouses your profound moral indignation. This is the place that modern conservatism has landed in, I'm afraid. Lacking intellectual rigour and moral foundation; reliant on performative acts and symbols.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ironically, it sounds very much like virtue signalling.

There's a huge amount of projection in today's political discourse. The Left isn’t immune to this either, but yes, 'virtue signalling' and 'intolerant cancel culture' are both incredibly disingenuous when right-wing discourse is so reliant on symbolic gestures, outrage, and when its elected officials are banning books (and sometimes burning them).

If that person was a complete cuuunnntttt, then yeah why not. Respect is earned in life, not automatically granted because you become dead. You telling me you wouldn’t pisssss on Ian Brady’s grave given the chance? I know I would.

Comparing a former PM to Ian Brady is a little extreme, no?

Funnily enough I’m no Margret Thatcher fan (shock for a tory), and I’d happily debate her political ideologies, but I wouldn’t urinate on her grave, no.

I’m talking about Murdoch, not Thatcher. And the principle of pissssing on graves - for me there should be more of it.

How can anybody still get upset at people mocking Thatcher after all this time. Especially when it involves a scenario involving Rupert Murdoch.

You're playing pedantic word games while unwilling or incapable of engaging in the substance of the argument. I regret bothering to engage this long.

He has done more to destroy Western democracy than some of our so called enemies.

They had better have a private location for his grave as it will become a public toilet.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You've nailed your political colours to the mast clearly enough with that answer, but I'd be curious to understand how you come to ascribe to a woman who has been on the margins of the Labour party for most of her career, particularly when they were in power, the title of most insidious influence on the Western world in half a century. I'd imagine she would be thrilled to live her life again and wield the kind of influence that would make such a judgement seem reasonable.
