image for Margaret Thatcher wants to get stuffed

Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, in a frank interview with TheSpoof.com has revealed her intention to be stuffed and mounted after her approaching demise.

Baroness Thatcher, who relies solely on her pension for financial support, has fallen on hard times since her forced retirement in 1990, has had to resort to taking in washing and ironing to supplement her income. She has an advertisement in her local corner shop, listing her services and calling herself 'The Iron Lady'!

In May last year she was approached by the Victoria & Albert museum who were interested in purchasing her body, when, as they put it, she no longer required it. An advance offer, described by Mrs Thatcher as 'very generous' has been made.

Not to be outdone, the Natural History museum have also made an offer, with the added enticement of animating her body using state of the art bionic engineering. Their intention is to create multiple 'Son et Lumiere' scenarios, approved and edited in advance by Mrs Thatcher.

A spokesman for the Labour party was furious. He said if the Conservatives have taken the museums then New Labour would take the art galleries and public toilets.

Conservative party headquarters were equally furious; saying public toilets were traditionally their stamping ground, and Labour could expect a fight for their money. The Liberal Democrats, who in the past occupied many seats in public toilets, refused to comment.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
