    Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
    The Iron Lady has fallen victim to yet another internet death hoax.

    A Twitter account dubbed @OfficialSkyNews falsely tweeted Tuesday that former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had died, setting the micro-blogging site ablaze with momentary confusion as users waited for verification of the news.

    The account, which had over 30,000 followers and only 10 tweets at the time of its message, had no ties to Sky News.

    But the short-lived hoax fooled several Twitter users, including ABC News' senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper.

    "WHOOPS fake account apologies. deleting." Tapper later tweeted.

    Yes -- very well said, Tyr. SCUM indeed.

    In a highly perverse sort of way, though, it's also its own version of tribute. Consider .. Margaret Thatcher ceased to be our Prime Minister in the early Nineties. But, so very effective was she in putting Leftie militant trash in its place, that their hatred has burned white-hot within them for DECADES. Still, they have that need to get back at her ... and that, today, she's a relatively frail lady in not the best of health, this makes no difference to them.

    We are so VERY much better than our opposition, Tyr !
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!

    I can only imagine what those scum would say today if Winston Churchill were still alive! Truly slimeballs that havent an ounce of decency in them. A damn shame that Britain has let itself in for this. Leftists and Islamists teaming up to destroy what is right and good.-Tyr

    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Tomfoolery indeed; atleast they didn't report that someone was breaking into her house.

    Your use of the word--maybe-- says so much. You would do well to aspire to be more like my friend Drummond but its obvious that your post was a sarcastic one. By my thinking you'd need a helicopter to reach those heights but miracles do happen.. Got a friend that flies choppers, do ya?---Tyr

    Well lack of ambition is often why the skidrow bum isnt living in a nice home raising a fine family..Setting the bar so comfortably low may bring you contentment but not likely very much success or respect from others that admire at least a decent level of responsibility and effort to improve ones life.. Go for it, it's your life to do as you wish.
    I fully understand your fear of trying to ever reach that level.--Tyr
