Anti-Thatcher protest in London's Trafalgar Square

This is the future; radical leftists dancing at the deaths of their opponents. Its true that
fascism has traditionally been a right extremism, but the leftist extreme is truly showing
its colors in England now - there is really no difference between them and radical
fascist.
 
It's not really a new phenomenon that political opponents celebrate the death of one of their opponents -- and certainly no behavior that's confined to one side of the political spectrum.

Think of the Americans celebrating the death of bin Laden or Saddam Hussein. Not that this means these people are necessarily comparable to Thatcher; but celebrating the death of people is not really a new, or "left" thing.

As for Thatcher, as far as I hear many British have many good reasons to hate her. I don't want to judge them.
 
I think it looks kinda crappy, but then I liked Thatcher. It's all a matter of perspective. A few of us were probably a little less than reverent when Ted Kennedy or, more recently, Hugo Chavez, died.

l judge anybody who celebrate a death .

I don't know. I think I can't blame anybody who cheered when, say, Hitler committed suicide.

And although I didn't celebrate, I don't really feel like blaming those who celebrated when bin Laden was killed, although I think it would have been much better to capture him alife and get him on trial, for many reasons.

I celebrated when Emperor Palpatine died but then it turned out he came back to life in the books.
 
We went to war with all of the people you're suggesting. Thatcher didn't come close to doing what Hitler, Hussein, and Bin Laden have done.

I totally disagree. He needed killing and serious props to Obama for finishing the job. We've seen with KSM what a circus trying to make this a criminal case would have been. He didn't deserve the world platform. I'm glad got killed and I'm glad we got to be the ones to do it.

I'm kinda proving your point from post 2, aren't I? Lol.

When Bin Laden died my own feelings were less one of celebration and more a sense that i'm glad justice was finally done. I'm not going to judge those who celebrate the deaths of others, but I personally don't find it necessary no matter how bad or evil the person was because let's face it Americans (or more accurately the people we've put into power) have been guilty for committing evil acts as well - the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Judge lest not ye be judged and all that.

My perspective is not quite so morally murky. I think the US is better than Bin Laden. I'm still pissed about 9/11 and I'm glad we finally ended Bin Laden.

l wonder what saddam did to you which affected your life badly as a president of another country

and do you know US governments had supported and armed bin laden and many islamists against soviet union during cold war

l dont think saddam forced some christians to rape their own daughters..................

he was a dictator but of an independent country .
 
Its really sickening you can imagine hitler, saddam, and osama in the same category as Marget Thatcher; that illustrated a lot - for you - to which I would prefer to ignore - completely.

Obviously you didn't read my posting: I explicitly stated that she's not in the same category.

Yet it cannot be denied that she had much greater influence on a much, much greater number of Britons than bin Laden or Saddam had. Subjectively, she had more power to change their lives.

A little bit self-righteous you are, aren't you?
 
It does my heart good to know the radical left can compare saddam, osama and Thatcher. I'm glad you have posted this; for it helps
me to know there is no reason to accept the radical idology of such discourse and ignorance. People that think as you have illustrated
really don't belong at the table when it comes to making decisions for others and will be opposed by all means necessary.

Sorry as I read your earlier post it appeared you were equating them, or at the very least excusing those who celebrate her death as equal to the others
who history views as quite evil.

hitler was responsible for genocide ,german

Do you want a list of his crimes?

l asked you what he did to you

you understand what l mean

dont change the topic

if you judge saddam ,tolerate those people who hate thatcher too

you understand what l mean

Where do you draw the line?

Many politicians are responsible for the death of others, including innocent people. How much is okay? 1? 100? 1 million?

Now of course the case of the respective politicians matters too, probably. Maybe Thatcher's case was a good one. But certainly one that costed a lot of social "collateral damage" too. So I don't want to judge the many Britons whose lives have been destroyed by her policies.
 
Let's say a man across the street from you is severely beating his wife in front of you? Would you have a problem with that?

She also was elected to do so, and left politics more than two decades ago and has spent the last decade suffering from dementia. I'm pretty sure you can manipulate the argument to say OBL and Saddam affected many British lives - but no celebrations.

Since bin Laden was not an American, and since Margaret Thatcher was not responsible for the murder of 3,000 innocent people, your analogy is painfully weak at best or insulting in the extreme at worse.

If you can name a similar occasion where Americans on the left or right cheered the death of a former President, you might have an argument. I don't believe people on left cheered Nixon's death, as an example.

I think it's more indicative of the depths the left in Britian have sunk to, which is the point being made in the OP.

"conservativism " doesnt mean imperialism

I have some Kurdish friends who fled Iraq nearly forty years ago. I can tell you they had a helluva party when Saddam (who ordered the assassination of her father) was caught and eventually hanged.

On the other hand, when I saw Palestinians celebrating in the streets after the towers fell on 9/11, it occurred to me that would be an excellent time and place to test drones loaded with napalm...
