Baroness Thatcher’s death unleashed a wave of vitriol and hatred from the Left. Several hundred people gathered in south London on Monday evening to celebrate Margaret Thatcher's death with cans of beer, pints of milk and an impromptu street disco playing the soundtrack to her years in power.
Banners were held stating ‘Rejoice Thatcher is dead’ by drunken crowds, many of whom were too young to remember her as prime minister.Similar scenes were witnessed in Glasgow and further ‘parties’ were planned in Bristol, Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester. Sickening messages also began flooding the internet minutes after the official announcement.
At a National Union of Students conference in Sheffield some delegates cheered and applauded when informed of the former prime minister’s death.
Eighties Trotskyist firebrand Derek Hatton, a sworn political enemy of Mrs Thatcher from his days as deputy leader of Liverpool City Council, sent one particularly vile message. He tweeted: ‘The issue isn’t about whether she is now dead, I regret for the sake of millions of people that she was ever born.’
A website set up three years ago asking ‘Is Margaret Thatcher Dead yet?’ was updated yesterday – with the word ‘YES’. It ran the slogan ‘Margaret Thatcher is dead. This lady’s not returning,’ and encouraged people to host parties, publishing a music playlist including Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead from The Wizard Of Oz.
The Twitter account for the Crouch End branch in north London read: ‘If for any reason, anyone feels like celebrating anything we have Taittinger available at £10 less than usual at £29. Just saying …’
