It was announced today that Carol Thatcher, daughter of former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher, died in the early hours of this morning at University College Hospital, after being taken seriously ill last night.

Thatcher, 55, suffered from the excruciating condition Silva Lepus Morbusa - which leads to the fusing of the trachea and the rectum - as well as a rare form of Voluntary Tourettes Syndrome, which left her unable to distinguish between arcane racist language and everyday modern English.

It is unclear whether anyone has actually paid tribute to Ms Thatcher, who pursued an active career in popular journalism, despite her disabilities, and studied Law at UCL, though she recently stated that the only thing she and the British legal system ever had in common was that they had “both fucked Jonathan Aitken.”

She is survived by her father, Dennis, and by her Golliwog, Mr Boomba-Poomba.
