Another Excuse For Lawlessness
Seeing this, albeit in the Daily Mail, and more expected, especially on the day of the funeral, do you think this will be jumped upon as another excuse by some to get out and cause trouble:

//One official guideline said it was “perfectly in order” for miners in Kent to be prevented from travelling to Yorkshire if they were likely to cause disorder – a 300-mile exclusion zone.
It was a form of house arrest and it happened in many places with pickets turned back at county borders.//

It cannot have been, as the report claims, a form of ‘house arrest’ if people deemed likely to cause affray were turned back at county borders – but that’s biased reporting for you.

Typical socialists. Happy to be caught on camera drinking 'special brew' and the 'One-stop' excuse for champagne, I wouldn't water my aubretia's with the dreadful stuff. I think one of them is even downing prosecco (cheapskate) from the bottle! Poor thing, can't she afford a glass? Do they have no idea how to carry themselves in public? Most of them obviously haven't seen a bar of soap in weeks and as for a comb, well? And look at the time, still, I can't imagine they are able to hold a job down so they probably haven't got to get up in the morning.
Canary - I just think it depends on how informed their opinion is.
I had someone posting on my facebook wall about what a bitch she was. I could only reply 'You can't even spell'
They are the type of people that Eve is talking about.
They know nothing about Thatcher, nothing about her policies, no idea what it was like living under her rule....but because their parents made some negative comments over the years....

I have just watched a news item about the street celebrations in Brixton and Glasgow on the BBC news website. While there was some very minor graffiti,
they would seem to be mostly peaceful. Surely people should be allowed to commemorate this event without hindrance ?
A lot of people simply hated Thatcher and everything she stood for, and they aren't about to change their minds to please the DM !
And before anybody says that she is just an old lady that died, old ladies die all the time but none them get a mention, let alone a state funeral.

Eddie, it's not just the Mail and it wasn't less than 30 people.

ummmmmmmmmmm...no of course she isn't having a state funeral !
She is just having a mile-long procession through London, accompanied by a troop of horse. The Houses of Parliament is being recalled at great expense, and the funeral is being held in St Pauls, attended by the Queen and Phil the Greek.
But of course, it isn't a state funeral...how silly of me to so confused !
