Thatcher is dead

[xes]

Meeting for Trafalgar square
set yet

 

[belboid]

She died while I was having a bath and emerging clean from the water. There are no coincidences ya f-f-f-f-f-ff-f fuckin dead bitch

I was watching a film about how a bunch of extreme right-wingers were destroying the working-class, particularly the miners. It'd had just gone "a clever old boy with a beard" said the working class only had the option to fight....

 

[Pickman's model]

Oh happy day.

coolah coolay

 

[sheothebudworths]

Blimey! I was starting to think she'd just go on forever!

 

[golightly]

Gutted I won't be in London on Saturday.

I shall be going to see my mother on Saturday. Let's see how long we last before there's a row.

 

[wayward bob]

heh when i heard this in the bath i could just see it going mental on here

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Is this a bigger thing for those of us who grew up under her? I was 14 when she was elected, 25 when she got shafted by her own party If you grew up after the Thatcher years is she still the towering figure of evil?

Yep, unless your parents were wannabe yuppies, in which case you probably grew up admiring her

"And, has thou slain the wicked witch?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

 

[butchersapron]

aye, despite the initial rush of shameful glee, it's hard to be too celebratory as we have to deal with her legacy

...and part of that fight is recognising the evil, calling it what it is, teaching what it is and celebrating when an exemplar of it dies.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

The annoying thing is that on World at One now playing they keep playing clips of her rasping voice and irritating opinions.

 

[wayward bob]

is there an official party thread yet?

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Maggie! Maggie! Maggie!
Dead! Dead! Dead!

 

[stethoscope]

Oh god, I can't listen to the fucking establishment media already.

 

[Big Gunz]

Party time motherfucker!

 

[Brixton Hatter]

REJOICE!

does this now mean we can have nice things, like a revolution?

 

[Dr Nookie]

Much as I have been awaiting Thatcher's demise, going out and partying feels a bit premature while you've got this truly evil government in power. She lives on through them. So we somehow need to bump those buggers off too!

 

[gunneradt]

Perhaps we can look forward to a state funeral and, maybe, even a day off.

As a 'thank you', of course.

 

[nino_savatte]

urban drink up on Weds night just turned into a celebration

Where is it? I'm coming.

 

[Red Storm]

I'm waiting for the you shouldn't rejoice at someone dying arguments.

Trying to find a video of being smug Thatcher at the death of someone, I thought she'd have said something more about Bobby Sands' death.

I was about 6 when Maggie got the boot and I still hated her. In fact coming from a family of atheist lefties hatred of Maggie was the closest thing we had to religion.

 

[nino_savatte]

Telly is gonna be shit/insufferable for a week

Yep.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Telly is gonna be shit/insufferable for a week

It always is.

someone temporary ban Sass for a day or two for his blood pressure

I feel a desire to repost my retort to Sass after one of the many tickings off he gave us for revelling in the old bitch's suffering.

Only a vile and depraved individual would take pleasure in the death of another human being. Your conscience, if you actually had one, would tell you this. You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.​

​

​

I don't think of myself as someone who would usually take pleasure in another's misfortune, regardless of political or personal objections to them. But as someone who spent the 1980s in the north of England I genuinely can't see how anyone with a conscience could not take at least some satisfaction from the death of Margaret Thatcher​

[nino_savatte]

Where's LLETSA?

 

[Helen Back]

The thing is, are they going to bury her in a publicly accessible place so people can dance on her grave?

 

[marty21]

Where is it? I'm coming.

I think this event is going to be a terrible let down for those with left leanings. There's going to be much fawning over her and not much criticism. People who didn't live through her time in charge will have their opinions formed by what they hear in the next few days, I reckon. Especially those not-so-political people.

You're not wrong, BBC news is about three feet up her cold dead intestinal tract.

Galloway just tweeted this. Unlucky
