Big party in Sheffield tonight,sorry i can't be there.........for what that evil woman did to the Miners,dockers and steel workers alone anyone would be damned to be hated for a generation or so but when you add up all the horror she inflicted on our countrymen and women.........i believe eternity might just about do it.........!!!!!...........I just hope this event galvanises(great word especially in terms of Sheffield and in this context).....us to resist the legacy she left......the flowers of evil are far from dead.....they are in full bloom.....and sitting in parliament right now,after reflection......I hate the idea of celebrating the death of an old lady but.....I feel no guilt in celebrating the death of evil ideals.....sadly this isn't"VE"day in that regard this is a meagre howl at distant outrages in time......the same and possibly worse outrages are committed daily,I believe it's those we need to watch out for...........not alone.....but together.........may I add also that in the light of Margarets defiant ideal that no-one should rely on the state for anything.....perhaps her funeral should be privatised?......I'm sure in the light of her cast Iron Lady ideals she wouldn't want to be a burden on our already over stretched tax paying citizens......although as there's no such thing as society maybe we'll be able to voluntarily donate if we wish or perhaps save it in the event of the loss of someone we love who needs our support?

Will be raising a glass to her demise – have hated her all my adult life and what she has done, our children are now paying for.

But do have some sympathy with this piece Owen Jones wrote on the subject.

http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/com ... 43089.html

She's gone but her legacy lives on in Osborne, Cameron, Boris. The suffering goes on. By all means party but stick it to the fuckers who carry on her legacy too. x

From Tony Benn, "when asked what had been her greatest achievement, she replied "new labour."" xx

Military funeral, same as princess di and the queen mum. Not comfy with that at all. Not that I cared much for those two either. Too divisive a person to go down this road. Maybe there'll be demonstrations at the funeral?

What a terrible Prime Minister she was. Unfortunately we're still feeling the effects. And the way she entered the Falklands War, seemingly just to re-win election.

The special vitriol being saved for Billy Bragg on FB is a sight to see. All the Thatcherites, racists, bigots, small minded little Englanders are out in force, spotting their poison. Thatcher may be dead, Thatcherism it seems is alive and foaming at the mouth. X

So sick of all the saint Maggie shit going on. She hung out with people who abused children, she was the friend of dictators who murdered thousands of their own people, she thought Nelson Mandela was a terrorist, she was married to a man who made his fortune out of the mining industry in Africa. This is just stuff of fact.

Notice Piers Morgan today, slagging off the people who celebrated her demise, urging them to have some respect for the dead. This is from a man whose newspaper hacked into the phone of a dead girl to fill its pages.

Fuck the lot of them, honestly. I didn't dance and sing and get pissed yesterday but while they're busy rewriting history about this awful woman, we should remember that there were people who said this all along.

This is the best thing I have seen on the subject, erudite, passionate, principled.

PS Love the picture Nick. xx
