Crowd 'celebrates' Thatcher death

Hundreds of cheering people have held parties to "celebrate" the death of Baroness Thatcher.

A crowd of two or three hundred people assembled in Glasgow's George Square where in 1989 protests to the introduction of Thatcher's poll tax took place.

Some wore party hats and launched streamers into the air while a bottle of champagne was opened with a toast to the demise of Baroness Thatcher.

Members of various organisations including the Anti-Bedroom Tax Federation, the Communist Party, the Socialist Party, the Socialist Working Party, the International Socialist Group, were joined by members of the public to mark the occasion.

Meanwhile, More than 100 people gathered in Brixton, south London - the scene of fierce riots in 1981 - two years into her first time in office.

There was also a reaction from music star Morrissey, a long-time critic of Baroness Thatcher, who berated her as "barbaric" and "without an atom of humanity".

The former Smiths singer has often aired his thoughts about his dislike of the former Prime Minister through song - with tracks such as Margaret On The Guillotine - and in interviews. He claimed she was "charged by negativity" and said she "closed" rather than opened the doors for women as the first female PM.

In a statement he said: "Thatcher is remembered as The Iron Lady only because she possessed completely negative traits such as persistent stubbornness and a determined refusal to listen to others.

"Every move she made was charged by negativity; she destroyed the British manufacturing industry, she hated the miners, she hated the arts, she hated the Irish Freedom Fighters and allowed them to die, she hated the English poor and did nothing at all to help them, she hated Greenpeace and environmental protectionists, she was the only European political leader who opposed a ban on the Ivory Trade, she had no wit and no warmth and even her own Cabinet booted her out."

Outspoken Morrissey, who recently cancelled a series of shows due to ill health, went on: "Thatcher will only be fondly remembered by sentimentalists who did not suffer under her leadership, but the majority of British working people have forgotten her already, and the people of Argentina will be celebrating her death. As a matter of recorded fact, Thatcher was a terror without an atom of humanity," he added.

Like “Palestinians” celebrating Sharon and 9.11.

The reckoning is going to be very, very final I think.

If evil doesn't hate you, you're doing it wrong.

I can think of an occasion in which the crowds will dwarf any existing venue in celebration, wild revelry, and posting of extended fingers.

Wanna name the person?

Let them come here and celebrate....

I hope that at least a few Brits have enough spine to beat the snot out of these useless punks. Margaret Thatcher was the last great leader they had.

The thing is, people like this probably will also celebrate when Tony Blair dies, so at least they’re “bi-partisan.”

It is an honor for Lady Thatcher to be despised by the likes of this, but truly she would have never returned their hatred

And there you have it. I don't expect the demons to respond in any other fashion. However, I'd still be sorely tempted to toss a brick their way.

You know that M. Thatcher had a great impact on society when this occurs! She was that great! Will miss her as much as President Reagan. What a team! Got to love the anti-Thatcher rebellious idiots - they at least have their convictions (as stupid as they are). I would assume that in later life they would recognize greatness when it happens in front of their eyes though...(okay, maybe most folks are just plain stupid and ignorant).

Typical leftist mannerless slime.

And they DESPERATELY need dental work ...probably won’t get it anytime soon, though, with socialism on the march throughout Europa.
