Margaret Thatcher Dead?
There's a new motion afoot, it's called 'Margaret Thatcher Dead'. Whether it's political or simply social, is uncertain. Ms Blythe, of South London, has been rallying fellow militants to commemorate her new motion, Margaret Thatcher Dead.
She has established up a Facebook team, calling it 'The Witch is Dead', a subsidiary group of Margaret Thatcher Dead. This group currently has over 5,000 participants and ask for "exhibitions of disapproval" across the country. I am uncertain exactly what she implies. Is she asking us to reject Margaret Thatcher for leaving earth too quickly, and without the remotest challenge?
Ms Blythe is nothing if not efficient. She has enumerated a list of specifics on Facebook, joyous riots that took place in Bristol and Glasgow.
The University of East London graduate teaches drama and is an expert in workshops for the young. She is passionate about restoring criminals and explores conflict resolution through drama. There are other ways, but drama is a longstanding favourite with the young.
At a "flash party" to mark Lady Thatcher's passing, she sent a message: "Anyone else like to join us?"
It reminds me of an Irish wake. Very jolly indeed.
However the poor lady is deluded. Her Facebook page reads: "Come and celebrate our liberty and liberty from tyranny! On the day Maggie stands down, at last!".
She says her father was a leftie and her mother was a Thatcherite. She said she is simply enjoying the demise of Thatcher's policies, rather than the person herself. It's a time to reflect, Ms Blythe said, in these thriving times.
It's not about gloating and being mean. It's about using that date to reflect on the past, however unfortunate that day may be for some people
Quote: I'm calling for a peaceful demonstration of disapproval and letting the Government know we're not stupid and we haven't been brainwashed by more prosperous times since then
It's all good, because this is a 'group catharsis', for "survivors of the Thatcher years" those with post-thatcher traumatic stress disorder, a known problem.
And in case you were thinking of having a jolly in town on Saturday, be warned. 25 locations across the country, are being organised by Class War, with the help of other organizations such as the All London Anarchist Revolutionary Mob, which is of course "committed to radical action to undermine the state".
Ian Bone, of Class War, said that an effigy of Our Lady Thatcher will sit on the fourth plinth in London's Trafalgar Square, which has been suggested as a site for a possible statue for the former prime minister.
Quote: There's a large papier-mache statue of Thatcher being done that will be toppled. It will be similar to the size of the Saddam Hussein one. We want to celebrate the end of Thatcher.
Scotland Yard has launched a major counter-offensive. Naturally, all officer leave has been canceled, something of which I am sure Lady Thatcher would approve.
I wasn't expecting to attend, but with all of this stuff going on, I may put Sheeba in her blue cat box and wander over to Trafalgar Square to observe the process.
Obviously, Thatcher is not dead yet, not while she's getting all of this publicity. She delighted in promotion, old Thatch, and the last time I looked, the Tories were still half-running the country.
Ah well.
