HUNDREDS of people have taken to the main square in Brixton, an area of south London which suffered serious rioting in the 1980s, to celebrate the death of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
Holding notices saying "Rejoice - Thatcher is dead", about 200 people gathered in the neighbourhood, a hotspot of alternative culture:

so I obviously gave them a deeply unbiased account of what an utterly vicious, ruthless and hateful politician she was. 'Is it Thatcher's fault I got beaten up?' one lad, who had a very cut and bruised face asked. 'Probably, in a way,' I told him.

That's been the funniest thing I've read today

I'm saddling up for London on Saturday Looks grand.

Humph. Many of us simply went to celebrate and be with like minded folk. The journos and wielders of huge cameras struck me as parasitic

 

[keithy]

Decided to celebrate at home

 

[cesare]

Yay! Go keithy!

 

[TopCat]

Respect to brixtonites and friends for making it. 500 plus people.

 

[moonsi til]

I can't like that enough keithy..

Just got home after dragging myself away from it. Lovely, happy, carnival atmosphere, drummers, sound systems, smiles everywhere. Fucking brilliant. Lots of people by the time I left. Have lots of work tomorrow and it's a 20 minute walk back to Brixton, but I'm tempted to go back and re-join. Spotted a few Urbanites in the crowd as well.

Can't wait for the pictures in the Daily Mail in the morning

THOUSANDS of people under 35 are rejoicing at the demise of a woman they once read about.

Rot in hell, generic old lady

Following Lady Thatcher’s death, people who want to look impressively ‘political’ are acting like they remember Thatcher as something other than a vague abstract concept of evil.

some of those people in the pics don't even look like they were born when Thatcher was PM...

Great atmosphere until the green brigade turn up singing pro IRA songs. (Ironically enough under the union flag of the town hall.) they always love singing their sectarian bile in the nation they proclaim to hate so much.

 

[keithy]

Loving all the people making out like you have to be a certain age to understand what Thatcher and her legacy mean for our society. Lolz. Yeah I just can't imagine... it's not like it's right up in our grills is it?

Hi anchorage.

 

[keithy]

Even if there ARE people jumping on the bandwagon and going along with things for the fun of it... surely that's a good thing, given that they'll probs learn something along the way?

Maybe their parents were in industries destroyed by Thatcher?

True, Dr Nookie educated four youngsters on the bus tonight

I was there only for about 40 minutes (bad migraine) but the loveliest thing for me was that I ended up chatting politics to some random young guy in his 20's for ages, and then on the bus back to Streatham I got chatting to four 16-year-old lads who wanted to know what all the hoo-ha was about. Only one of them had even heard of Margaret Thatcher so I obviously gave them a deeply unbiased account of what an utterly vicious, ruthless and hateful politician she was. 'Is it Thatcher's fault I got beaten up?' one lad, who had a very cut and bruised face asked. 'Probably, in a way,' I told him.​

Dr Nookie, Today at

I know the girl in the bottom picture. She isn't old enough to remember Thatcher and if she has a political bone in her body I'd be very. very suprised.

A lot of them looked suspiciously like hipsters to me

 

[B-Town]

Maybe their parents were in industries destroyed by Thatcher?

Or maybe they bought their council house off the state, and will be dissapointed at thier children celebrating death...

Why do people keep pouring this tripe out.
The Thatcher era had a deep and long lasting effect in this country. It is still having an effect now.

How fucking patronising and divisive of you to assume that people of a certain age will not understand what happened.

Some young folk may have had their family lives and fortunes utterly ruined by Thatcherite policies. So while not being political at primary school, may have genuine visceral reason to be in celebratory mood today.
