Oh, they are more than stupid enough to do that. I might bring some kind of comedy whistle on the off-chance.

Afterall these years my hatred towards her has never diminished.

Personally I think actively celebrating anyone's death is pretty classless.

Oh, I don't know.

I had a very pleasant evening in early November 1991, after the news of Robert Maxwell's demise came through, and I was invited to a bonfire night celebration, with an effigy of the thief.

People cross that some are revelling in Thatcher's death, yet surely one of her goals was a society without compassion & empathy?

A lot of really hypocritical people on this thread. The kind that jump all over any kind of disrespect for the dead suddenly all over this as if they've won the lottery.

Thatcher as a politician you may not agree with, but FFS she was voted into power and she did a lot less damage to this country than the previous Labour governments and I don't see the lines of people on here counting down the days till the deaths of Blair and Brown.

Quite ironic you talking about disrespect and hypocrisy considering your conduct in other threads, especially the football one.
