Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

As I've said time and time again on this thread, whether you liked or loathed her the woman is dead, her family a grieving, last night and this morning it saddened me to see on the news that people were dancing in the streets, mind you most of them were kids who wouldn't know who she was let alone what she did.
Now what worries me next is what will happen at her funeral, will their be people out there who will take the opportunity to protest/celebrate whatever you call it ? I do hope not, after all whether again if you agree or disagree with her having a massive funeral, at the end of the day it is still a funeral and that in itself should be respected.

People rejoiced when Osama Bin Laden died (shot)
People rejoiced when Gadaffi died (shot)
People rejoiced when Saddam Hussein died (hung)

An ex leader of this country has died and (apart from the eejits who aren't old enough to even have heard her name) some people will rejoice because they remember the devastating effect she had on this country and yes,I agree Alzheimers is devastating....but she got to live her natural life span....many people from her era didn't.
Personally I think the 'military funeral' is completely OTT and in very bad taste given the state of the economy.

Nope,,my point is...............controversial leaders die all over the world and factions celebrate the passing in their own ways....some grieve....some rejoice...

She wasn't a leader when she died, her death did not end a reign of tyranny, she was just a sick old lady with a loving family who will miss her.

No need to pick anything apart Inca, ill thought out and illogical comment tends to fall apart all on its own.

she didn't force her way into power, she wasn't a dictator

Neither did Adolf Hitler. He was elected.

Yes and his death coincided with the end of the second world war.(some may say cause for celebration)

There is a law about internet discussion, I think it is called Godwins law, http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...in's%20law
it states that when a person mentions Adolf Hitler they they loose by default.

I think you should call it a day. Trying to draw a parallel between Adolf Hitler and Mrs thatcher is a bit of a stretch even for you Eloise.

Firstly - The OP of this thread, chose the tone by the title.

Going on the logical assumption that Lady T was the political equivalent of Marmite, there are going to be lovers and haters and even just those who wish to pay respects.

So before everyone falls out over Thatcher, perhaps an alternative 'Tribute' thread for fans, which will leave this thread for those who are just glad at her passing.

Just a suggestion.....
