News Margaret Thatcher scotland
RIP to Cathy Rutherford, star of this legendary response to Margaret Thatcher’s death
Pour one out for a true viral news legend.
Twitter/X user Jackie English has shared the news that her aunt, Cathy Rutherford, has died. And in her lovely tribute, Jackie re-shared Cathy’s most blazing moment in the sun when she was asked about Margaret Thatcher during the former PM’s state funeral in 2013.
It’s with great sadness that my Auntie Cathy (Rutherford) has very suddenly passed away this week. Born in Glasgow my Auntie Cathy was a trade unionist to the core and remained politically active her whole life. This famous clip shows you exactly where she stood. https://t.co/qMOQUO7DFw

In the video clip, a reporter asks Cathy if Thatcher did any good. And her reply is, well, best have a watch for yourself.
“Not a bit of good. Not a bit. I’d put a stake through her heart and garlic around her neck to make sure she never comes back.”
The shocked reporter responds with, “isn’t that a pretty horrible thing to say with her funeral going on right now?”
To which Cathy replies: “Too bad. Too bad.”
Needless to say, people wanted to pay tribute to Cathy too.

This is sad news. @AlexCormack4 and I were such big fans of Cathy that we gave her a cameo appearance in SINK. https://t.co/1zqv5ejxOa pic.twitter.com/UfEVW1ZysV
