Criticism is one thing mintball, actively celebrating someone's death is another.

I detest Blair and what he has done, also has blood on his hands and helped prop up a regime, but when he dies i'll politely decline to comment, i think that's a classier approach.

Just been down to Thatcher's grave. Looks beautiful, although I'm a bit concerned that the dancefloor isn't big enough.

Should start the party with 'Highway to Hell'

I’ve waited so long for this day, but as the years have gone on I’ve always raised a little smile hearing of her strokes & her falls.

But at least the de-regulation of the banks left her with a fitting legacy, as for her sell-off of the family jewels – don’t get me started.

Hey ho, the beers are on ice, the savouries in the oven.


It’s party time .

Is this in your role as devil's advocate or genuine

It seems rather odd to have 'waited a long time for this day' if you hated her so much surely you would have wanted her to carry on living in a state of dimentia which is a pretty horrific way to live.

She is at rest now surely that's worse for people like you?

Have a bit of respect, she was mother to someone

Yeah, one of them funded an attempted coup in an oil rich African state for his own personal wealth benefits. Something rubbed off the old cow.

Augusto Pinochet was 91 when he died. Would it have been unacceptable to remember with sympathy those whose lives he had blighted while at the same time condemning 'a 91-year-old pensioner'?

According to his old chum Baroness Thatcher probably yes.

That said she was great in Mamma Mia so it's a bit uncalled for some of the comments on here.
