Will the Iraqi people celebrate when Bush and Blair are dead ? Too fucking right they will. Who could blame them.
I find it hard to feel anything about the passing of an octogenarian who by all accounts had quite advanced alzheimer's so in all the likelyhood the person who people hated and who's death they are cheering, rightly or wrongly, disappeared off the face of the earth some years ago. Her ideology on the other hand, still around, still being implemented by the tories today, in 2013 Cameron is a far more pernicious figure than Thatcher.
Also, lulz @ the people who would normally be talking anti-religion god is bullshit stuff on twitter who today hve they decided that it would be quite good if hell were a real thing.
It's unfair to compare peoples delight at her death to Bin Laden. The Americans celebrated the fact that they had exectuted him and that's very different.
Its not that different,Americans would have celebrated his death regardless of how it came about.
If its not acceptable to celebrate one persons demise why is it ok to celebrate anothers?
Anyway, I'll neither be celebrating nor mourning.
I imagine,given her ill health over the past few years that death will have been a relief.

From Billy Bragg, Calgary, AB, Canada, on the death of Margaret Thatcher:
This is not a time for celebration. The death of Margaret Thatcher is nothing more than a salient reminder of how Britain got into the mess that we are in today. Of why ordinary working people are no longer able to earn enough from one job to support a family; of why there is a shortage of decent affordable housing; of why domestic growth is driven by credit, not by real incomes; of why tax-payers are forced to top up wages; of why a spiteful government seeks to penalise the poor for having an extra bedroom; of why Rupert Murdoch became so powerful; of why cynicism and greed became the hallmarks of our society.
Raising a glass to the death of an infirm old lady changes none of this. The only real antidote to cynicism is activism. Don't celebrate - organise!
