Is very nasty regardless of who the person was?

So there have been a number of very devisive politicians. And quite a few who carried out mass murder. But to mark the anniversary of their passing as a cause for celebration?

I ask because someone posted a comment (on another forum) about having champaign on ice to celebrate the death of a well known politician a few days ago.

Just this week it's been revealed the women who fell in love with, thought they had married in some cases and certainly had children with police officers acting as spies to infiltrate unions and campaign organisations are still having to fight to find these men to get answers, medical information, to get child maintenance.

That actually happened more and for longer under Tony Blair for New Labour. Also happened under John Major.

DECIMATED almost all manufacturing and industry in this country making us STILL very vulnerable economically.

This actually happened more and faster under New Labour.

Oh I am no fan of new labour either! Point is she started it. That Blair continued it is also disgusting!

She was one of the few people I actively despised. That said, I was a student when she left power and we DID celebrate that!!! As a Scot, she was so dislikes here that I wouldn't even take time out from my life to "celebrate" her death. I celebrated enough when she left power, and I wouldn't waste another minute thinking about her, tbh. Her death means/meant nothing to me. The things she did in her life however....

I'm fond of the Frankie Boyle joke: "With the money they spent on her funeral, they could have bought every Scot a shovel and they'd have dug a grave so deep that we could hand her over to Satan personally" and "Her funeral will be the only one where the 21 Gun Salute is aimed at the coffin" Grin

Thatcher died without being brought to justice. Nothing to celebrate there - she got away with her crimes...

Spoke to my dad today about this and he made me laugh when he said this: "She won't need coal where she's going, it'll be bloody roasting!" Grin
