judy garland's ding dong the witch is dead, no 2 in charts

[mackenzie]

Whilst I have no hard felt stance on either this tune going up the charts or thatchers passing I do feel that to disrupt the funeral would be horrible in the extreme.

Question. Would people have celebrated if the IRA bomb attempt was successful? I doubt it and that when she was in power making all these policies that affected so many people. Not 30 years later.

Someone on the Thatcher thread actually alluded to that bombing in a way that was kind of celebratory. Some real low lives on this board recently.

These songs are much better. They come from and are about the early Thatcher PM years and the hopelessness the youth felt. Great ska sounds from mixed race bands from Birmingham and Coventry.

How utterly pathetic and genuinely upsetting. This country and many of it's inhabitants never cease to disappoint me.

Awful isn't it. I can't get my head around some of the people in this country. To think, some of them actually voted for the old hag.

Thing is Stony- you have every right not to like her and I respect your stance, it's just the celebrating of death that does not sit well with me.

It's like when Taggart goes to the big dugout in the sky, the media wankfest will be unbearable but I will not be celebrating the mans death as at the end of the day he's a father, husband, son, grandfather etc.

My thoughts as well...

Ridiculous that something like this can happen, at the end of the day the woman died this shows people for what they are.

Didn't like the woman but wouldn't dream of celebrating someone's death,

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

this is disgusting, celebrating someones death.

Its her funeral, with her children and grandchildren probably really upset and theres all this shit.

Its gone too far.

I agree with Totally Wired on this - you sad tory lickarse.

It's not about being a Tory or a Labour supporter it's about common decency.

If the witch had treated the people of this country with respect and decency, she'd have been shown it back in spades. She was a c*nt. Let her fuckin' rot.

Treated you badly did she? Lose your job in the 80's? Sign on with millions of others? It happened to me. And a load of my mates.

And yet I can't bring myself to join in the hate. Probably because I find it all a bit distasteful.

Let me know when a member of your family dies next and I'll sing some offensive songs whilst having a celebratory drink shall I?

I wonder what the odds are on Labour trailing in the opinion polls by the end of next week.

This stuff is manna from heaven for Thatcherites. Never did I think she'd become a sympathetic figure but these fools are going to make her one.
