I personally feel that it is in poor taste to actively celebrate someone's death. However I am getting a little fed up of the 'she was old and someone's mother, how dare they...' comments.
Vey recently we have found out that MT and her cabinet colluded with police after Hillsborough to authenticate their (now known to be fraudulent) version of events.
Each of the 96 people who died (including some children) were someone's mother/ son/ brother etc. They did not die peacefully, in old age,in comfort at the Ritz.They died terrifying, painful deaths. Their families not only had to deal with these harowing events but also fabrications that they were drunk, urinating on those who had already died, pickpocketing etc. I think that is a little worse than downloading the 'Wicked Witch' track as a way of letting the world know that there are plenty of people who feel that her actions were,in fact, utterly wicked. She does not deserve the pomp and ceremony funeral that she is to receive.
I personally would like to think that I am above actively celebrating anyone's death, however I fully understand that many people will have a strong sense of relief and closure from her death.
I also really dislike that anyone who feels strongly that her politics or ideologies were wrong and dangeous are made out to be work shy, benefit scrounging 'lefties'. There are plenty of hard working, educated people who hold this view.
As a final complaint there WAS NO RIOTING IN LIVERPOOL!!!! I was in the city centre that night. I don't know about the other cities accused but the fact that about 5 drunk people were photographed on the steps of the station (in that famously non- sensationalist paper, The Daily Mail) with a banner does not equate to a bloody riot.
