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:

Jake, //Wouldn't it be a lovely excuse to seize the moral high ground and denounce those nasty left wingers! //
Don't allow your wonkily out-dated political affiliations to tempt you into the immaturely embarrassing position of supporting the fray, Jake. They're idiots, most of whom clearly do not appreciate the crass stupidity of wanton destruction, and most of whom, I would guess, haven’t a clue about Mrs T, winner of three elections. No one forced the electorate into that.

I can to some extent understand people who lived through her time as Prim Minister protesting or celebrating, though I still find it horrible and sad. Seeing people younger than me rejoicing is seeing victims of the worst kind of indoctrination. To hate someone who stopped having an active influence for good or ill before you were born and to rejoice in their death is just wrong and horrifying. Those girls in that picture have no idea, and that makes me sad.
I like the quote at the end, though. Thatcher, apparently, felt she would have the last laugh, that if these protests were to happen, then she knew that at least she mattered. Perhaps the ultimate protest for the left, then, would be to be silent.

my view is there will be trouble, i will be staying put that day. irrespective of whatever one thinks of her there is no need for the sheer level of hatred that has been espoused by some, many of whom don't seem to be old enough to vote let alone been affected by anything she might or might not have caused. And as been pointed out three terms in office, so someone must have been voting for her.
On my 'Summer Riots' thread last weekend I said the conditions were right for more riots.

I predicted this would happen when the weather warmed up, but that was before Thatcher's funeral date was set. We could have trouble sooner than I anticipated.

Sandyroe,
If my memory serves me right, the travelling miners were illegally stopped and detained. Their minibuses were stopped and the police would claim they had a bald tyre or other mechanical defect. If the strikers pointed out that the minibus had been MOTed the week before that was ignored. Then they were released eight hours later without charge. There was and is no law to stp free movement of persons.

What seemed ironic to me when I saw these reports across several newspapers yesterday was the average age of the protestors - most of them weren't even born when Thatcher was PM. One was quoted as saying "when I was growing up her policies affected our family and how we could feed ourselves, blah blah " - he would have been three years old when she left office.
