Margaret Thatcher funeral: protesters plan to line streets and 'turn their backs' on casket

Protesters plan to line the streets by St Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday so they can "turn their backs" on Baroness Thatcher's casket, it can be revealed.

11:50AM BST 12 Apr 2013

Nearly 3,000 people have joined Facebook group "Maggie's Good Riddance Party", which claims it will hold a "right jolly knees up" outside St Paul's on the day of Baroness Thatcher's funeral.

The protesters wish to "get their money's worth" from the funeral, which will be paid for in part by the state.

Those attending include a civil servant at the Department of Work and Pensions, a carer and a branch leader of the National Union of Students. Some warned of "civil unrest".

Police have said anyone wanting to hold peaceful demonstrations in London on the day of the funeral will not be prevented from doing so, but urged organisers to contact the Metropolitan Police in advance.

The protesters plan to line the streets where Baroness Thatcher's funeral carriage will pass, particularly outside the cathedral, so they can turn their backs on the coffin as it goes by.

The MSM goes on and on about a “climate of hate and intolerance” if one person who is can in any way be tagged as a conservative does something violent or expresses a hateful opinion. Yet a huge chunk of the British Left riots and laughs about Thatcher’s death, and holds “Good Riddance” parties, and its simply evidence of how “divisive” Thatcher was.

Interesting, considering many of them hadn’t even been hatched before she left office in 1990.

Gawd, I hate leftards....

Again, I would consider it an honor if the worst people in Britain took time out of their day to make the effort to protest my funeral.

There can be no better earthly indicator of the good you have done than to attract the scorn of evildoers.

“Interesting, considering many of them hadn’t even been hatched before she left office in 1990”

It seems history has been re-written, and these young skulls full of mush have been programmed.

I would absolutely love it, if a reporter went up to one and asked ‘what specifically did Lady Thatcher do that you disagree with?’. They wouldn’t be able to answer.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7 (KJV)

context:

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Wow! Even when Reagan died, the majority of the left in this country had the self control not to make total fools of themselves and at least faked a proper respectful facade (though I do remember a handful taking some parting shots). Those leftist in the UK must have really, really have hated Thatcher. Twenty years out of office they still have that much hate.

They hate her because she broke the power of the unions over the country and even in the Labour Party.

Hopefully Lady Thatcher requested that her body be placed upside down in her casket so she can return the favor to these idiots.

I saw that the Democrats over here blocked resolution to honor Lady Thatcher.
