Party Trafalgar Square - When Thatcher Dies!

Class War | 05.10.2004 20:06 | Culture | Free Spaces | Social Struggles | London

We all know it can't be long now - and when Margaret Thatcher dies its party time!

On the first Saturday after Margaret Thatcher dies, Class War is calling a mass party to start at 6pm, in Trafalgar Square, scene of the most famous riot against her policies!

Whether or not you want to remenicse about the good old days of rioting against the poll tax, to toast old friends who fought Thatcherism, or just want to celebrate the death of the most reviled woman in Britain, we hope to see you there.

Bring your champagne, fireworks, party clothes and yourselves!

Promotional posters and stickers for this event will be available from London Class War.

Top Class War - I'm getting in the mood for dancin

05.10.2004 21:26

Slendid! Splendid! A dance maybe. Will there be some sort of disco music and fireworks? I hope so.

Something has been worrying me for some time now - a consequence of the mad old bat dying - good people could get injured dancing on an inappropriate surface. Let me explain.

Couldn't the relevant local council be forced by health & safety legislation to level the ground above her grave. If they are given notice that, for generations to come, much dancing will go on above her bones, they must do it, or have there capacious arses sued. We should demand disabled access too. And free school trips.

I may be on shaky ground, what, with all these Tory, and wannabe Tory (New Labour) coucils around. Where the fuck are the loony left when you need them, eh? ... Mmmmmm ... running the fuckin country, that's where they are now. Pretending to be Margaret bollocksing Thatcher. Thinking: "Oow, what would Maggie have done?", and: "Oh, what would Maggie have said?", and then doing it, and saying it. Bullshitting, Careerist hypocrites -the lot of them.

Those New Labour shites will be blubbing like wee babies who want mummies breast for dinner when she's buried. She's mummy to them all (no disrespect to motherhood here, I mean egyptian mummy). And they will announce the statue for Trafalger Square and the memorial - puke.

I've had this dream of a beautiful shiny dance floor on top her grave, and doing that slidey dancing across it - dancing on Maggie's grave. I'm in the mood for dancin ...


PS. Just heard; she's getting cremated; the ashes are being dropped over the Falklands. Shit!

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher

as of 5 Oct 2004:

However, on 22 March 2002 she was told by her doctors to make no more public speeches on health grounds, having suffered several small strokes which left her in a very frail state. Since then she visited Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York (in 2003), and compared his offices to those of Winston Churchill's War Room.

Although she was able to attend the funeral in June 2004 of former US President Ronald Reagan, her eulogy for him was pre-taped to prevent undue stress.

Ding Dong the witch is dead.......

06.10.2004 11:28

I was planning on going up to barnsley and going on the biggest pub crawl in history with a couple of mates from work singing "ding, dong the wicked witch is dead" in the style of the wizard of Oz. I'll make a deal if she dies early in the week lets all get beered up in barnsley and have a party in trafalgar square at the weekend, if she dies late in the week lets give barnsley a miss and go to london.

LISTEN TO YOURSELVES

06.10.2004 20:06

I'm not apologising for any of the actions of Margaret Thatcher, but to celebrate the death of any human being, now matter how "evil" their actions were is an act based on hatred. The same hatred that is being used and manipulated to justify acts on the "war on terror." If this world is ever going to change, it seems to me that the people are going to have to change first.
Personally i will mourn the death of Margaret Thatcher in the same way I will mourn the death of any other person in the world who I have never met. I fear however, that the biggest loss on that would day would be for the cause for change that so many people who read this site want. The right wing media would show this hatred to the population, and isolate our voice for change from the majority of the population still further.

Hate rots your conscience


Oh Bog Off...

...you pathetic liberal wimp! Show the same delicacy in the case of Stalin or Verwoerd, would you?

*Dance* on her grave? After what she and her zombie crew did to villages like mine, I'd *piss* on it!

if it didn't mean a nut-headed squaddie disguised as a copper (see miners strike) would smash my face into the kerb , repeatedly, i'd dig her up, plonk a miners hat and headlamp on her heed and dance her round london to the sound of Max Bygraves and the Grimethope coilery band singing "do it the safety way"!

I am writing to agree wholeheartedly with the suggestion that a counter demonstration be held on the day of Thatcher’s funeral.

The Midland-based promotions and web-hosting initiative, LeftSpace, has facilitated a web site and is currently designing a celebratory T-shirt for all to wear on the occasion of the death of this detestable woman.

Advance interest in purchasing one of these, or enquiries on bulk supplies can be addressed to us by e-mail at  info@dingdongdead.org.uk. Please visit www.dingdongdead.org.uk .

Ding Dong Dead welcome any contributions to filling the website, which includes a shop, videos and discussion forum.

Yours in anticipation

How can anyone turn down a party ?

12.04.2013 19:19

Get your dancing shoes on. Let the Heavens ring out rainbows of joy.

How can anyone knock a party?

Why should a death always be mourned ?

A spirit of celebration uplifts the human being. That's what a wake's about, and isn't it already the time that we awake the privatized, capitalized world from its slumbers ?

Come on down, and boogie !!
