Is Margaret Thatcher Dead?
There's a new movement afoot, it's called 'Margaret Thatcher Dead'. Whether it's political or merely social, remains to be seen. Ms Blythe, of South London, has been rallying fellow protesters to celebrate her new movement, Margaret Thatcher Dead.
She has actually established a Facebook group, calling it 'The Witch is Dead', a sub-group of Margaret Thatcher Dead. This team boasts more than 5,000 participants that want "exhibitions of disapproval" across the country. I am uncertain exactly what she indicates. Is she asking us to reject Margaret Thatcher's unpacking of her mortal coil, from the comfort of the Ritz, and without a hint of labour?
Ms Blythe is very efficient. She has listed specifics on Facebook, joyous riots that took place in Bristol and Glasgow.
The University of East London graduate teaches drama and arts and specialises in workshops for the young. She is particularly keen on criminals and explores conflict resolution through drama. I myself know of other ways, but drama is a longstanding favourite where conflict is concerned.
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 funeral party. Very jolly.
But the poor girl is deluded. Her Facebook page reads: "Come and celebrate our liberty and freedom from tyranny! On the day Maggie stands down, once and for all!"
She says her father was a leftie and her mother was a Thatcherite. She said she is only celebrating the death of Thatcherism, not Thatcher herself. It's a time to think of the past, Ms Blythe said, in these richer times.
It's not about being mean. It's about using that date to think about history, however sad that day may be for some.
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 considering having a jolly in town on Saturday, be warned. 25 locations throughout the country, are being organised by Class War, with the help of various other companies such as the All London Anarchist Revolutionary Mob, which is naturally "dedicated 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 operation to counter threats. Naturally, all police officer leave has been canceled, I am sure Lady Thatcher would approve.
I wasn't planning to attend, but with all of this drama going on, I may pop Sheeba in her blue cat box and saunter over to Trafalgar Square to witness proceedings.
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.
Oh my.
