The website is basically a link to a facebook page that requires a facebook login to access. Please make the page available without log in or also display the information available somewhere else for those without facebook.

Is that big list of parties just pasted in the information on the facebook page?

hmmm

what the fbook page says

Party in Trafalgar square on the day Margaret Thatcher quits this mortal coil.

A peaceful demonstration of disapproval!

We cannot let this moment pass without letting the world know that we have not forgotten.
From stealing the milk from our children, the SUS laws, the Brixton riots, through to the Miners Strike; form the sinking of the Belgrano, to the Poll Tax Riots; 4 million unemployed, The Battle of the Bean Field and later - the CJA - We Remember!
We Remember the destruction of our industries, the ruthless sell off of our services, how she filled the coffers of CEOs and the banks, unleashing a culture of greed and setting the stage for the economic strife we are experiencing now.
We will make our comment on the effect she had and the plan to spend millions of pounds on her state funeral.
Come and celebrate our liberty and freedom from tyranny! On the day that Maggie stands down, once and for all!

As soon as you hear she is dead make your way directly to Trafalgar Square... Or your local event - SEE LIST -There will only be a few hours before they begin to cordon off the square; to prevent the embarrassment of such a celebration. So it is important for us to make our way there as soon as the news is released! I would imagine trying to get there before mid-day on the day it is announced. If it is announced after dark then before mid-day the following day.
It is highly doubtful that parties planned for later dates will have escaped the police's notice and be allowed to happen without blockades and riot police in place around the square preventing access.
Though I very much hope all events are successful!

This is a Flash party so it will rely on word of mouth and you sending notice of it to as many people as you can via facebook and your email list or by text and twitter.
Please do this so that we can make a point and have a great time with a strong show of support, something that can't be ignored or go unreported...
The more the merrier!
Once you join you can forward the invite to all your friends by following the link in the corner. Or alternatively use the SHARE option and 'message friends' and the info will land in their inbox rather than just on a list of group invites... Also post to your home page regularly!

She has earned a place in Hell.

May she rot in Hell. She should be remembered as pure EVIL.

In memory of the Gibralter 3 who were assassinated on her orders.

The godmother is dead. Long live the mafiosa.

08.04.2013 14:18

What we have to guard against is gloating over her death by Labour activists being used to paint the Anarchist consensus as political. We have to remember that the party system Thatcher represented is now dying...we must not be dragged into political games in service to the agenda of those loyalists Thatcher leaves behind.

The coming days will be filled with some rather squalid and nasty, not to mention fake, accounts of her importance despite much of what she believed in being in a complete state of chaos now. Almost all of what she believed in no longer stands.

When its over, we can get on with the business of sweeping this regime away along with the veneer of all its most press friendly acolytes.

This will all be over soon.

08.04.2013 15:48

Too many wanky Facebook logins here to be of any real use to us.

You do realise that the majority of people interested in this whole subject avoid Facebook like the plague? So using Facebook as a recruiting sargent is sort of pointless.

Hey hey, blow the man down.

The end.

08.04.2013 16:01

I don't get it?

Everything Thatcher belived in is now dead. We don't live in a world of moneterism, the free market and Lassaize Faire Capitalism anymore...we live in a world of crisis, state aid, austerity and private sector bailouts from public sector funds. There is no small government anymore, just large scale monolithic cartels and monopolies. This world is not about small business and private enterprise, its about megalithic corporations and globalisation. The individual entrepreneur is extinct, pushed out by the Oligarch.

Absolutely nothing in the modern world relates to Thatcherism or any of the ideas that Thatcher espoused.

She was one of British politics most vainglorious failures and the only person who ever came close to matching that failure was Labours candidate for political glory, Tony Blair.

Everything these two villains stood for, is dead and dying.

A society that celebrates this degree of failure and puts it onto a pedestal is a society that is very obviously in a state of moral and logical decay.

The Anarchists are right, the heirarchy is just no bloody good.

Using Facebook

08.04.2013 16:29

While I salute those who wish to celebrate her demise, can I suggest that any rallies are not organised on Facebook? This is an organ of the state. Don't forget that folks selling anti-Thatcher t-shirts were threatened with arrest recently. A woman in Kent was also cautioned by police for mentioning she'd like to throw an egg at Cameron on Facebook. Don't give them an excuse to track you down.

Maybe we should put you in charge of everything, so that you can dictate what you think over 1 billion people can and can't do on the internet. Maybe we can get you to wear some of those gold ribbons like some banana republic dictator whilst you are at it.

08.04.2013 17:59

The only reason people hate Maggie is because she was a woman.

As the 1st woman prime minister, she was at constant battle with her all male cabinet.
They tried to demonise her and turn her into a hate figure to get rid of her.
If she failed, it would have sent a clear message to all woman that woman cannot operate in a "man's world", it is too tough and cruel.

She didn't. She showed that woman can be as good and can be better than men.

And you lot of shits seem to have fallen for the bullshit that those men spread

Murderous coal miners

08.04.2013 18:32

A taxi driver, David Wilkie, was killed on 30 November 1984. He had been taking a non-striking miner to work in the Merthyr Vale Colliery, South Wales when two striking miners dropped a concrete post onto his car from a road bridge above. He died at the scene. The two miners served a prison sentence for manslaughter.

@miner's lad

08.04.2013 18:46

The miners who didn't like thatcher, murdered a hard-working, innocent, working-class man simply because one of the miners was going to work so that he could feed his family. These are miners who were on a strike that was illegal as they refused to have a ballot according to their own rules. The innocent miner refused to strike, they tried to kill him but instead killed his innocent taxi driver.

These were the kind of people Thatcher fought against.

Council Houses

08.04.2013 18:50

For Margaret Thatcher, home-ownership was a right, and one which which she believed should be extended to council house tenants.

One of the first acts of her government was to launch a Right to Buy policy which came into force in 1980.

It allowed local authority tenants to purchase their council house at a discount of up to 70%. More than a million took up the offer under her premiership and a version of the scheme is still running today.

It's time to party!

Workers' revenge

The last word.

09.04.2013 12:37

So it looks like Thatcher will be buried as quietly as possible behind curtains and her body will be cremated rather than stored underground in a coffin.

Not much of a legacy is it, when your life's work isn't strong enough to safeguard you a burial!

But never mind, the BBC, ITV, Guardian, Telegraph, Sun, Mirror, Star, Mail and Express are all working tirelessly to make sure that future generations have no choice but to consider Thatcher a hero of our time. We, the saps who lived through it, don't seem to be very important in this regard.

This is the legacy of Thatcher...popular totalitarianism.

Geoffrey Howe.

Not the last word

09.04.2013 12:54

Try actually reading the newspapers before you accuse them of presenting the Milk Snatcher as a "hero", because several of the papers you mention are most definitely NOT

Oh now do come along!

09.04.2013 13:04

"Try actually reading the newspapers before you accuse them of presenting the Milk Snatcher as a "hero", because several of the papers you mention are most definitely NOT"

If the only competent criticism they have managed to cobble together is about childrens milk or some other pointless droidal hymn then my point stands. If all they can do is bang on about Thatcher's resolve or Thatcher's policies or Thatcher's legacy then my point also stands.

This day is meaningless without the bigger picture.

This is 2013, not 1984!

Think fast.

Geoffrey Howe.

brixton& bristol protests ended as platinum propaganda for thatcherites

09.04.2013 14:10

the Ritzy sign was brilliant, but "bitch is dead" was lazy&moronic.

car horns blaring, champagne& ding dong songs cant be used so easily by the tory propaganda machine,

much of Britain still believes the army of thatchers liars,before celebrating nothing win the debate, show videos like this,

The fact that you repeat the word "if" suggests you still havn't bothered to read the papers you (in some cases inaccurately) criticise... ("If the only competent criticism...", "If all they can do..."). There's been a great deal of critical coverage of Thatcher in the mainstream media - not enough, but still alot - and that coverage has been strongly encouraged by images of the events in Brixton, Glasgow and Bristol.

I have read the papers and its still not happening.

What's the problem, are ALL journalists in nappies? Does nobody remember what it was like under Thatcher? For such a supposedly important and historic premiership, the coverage so far sure is flimsy. One can only hope things improve by next Wednesday.

Where is the contemporary analysis. Thatcher sold off the housing stock of social houses and allowed carpet-baggers from all over to come in and capitalise the stock, drive the prices up just to leave us with the situation we have today. Large numbers of people can no longer afford to take part in a social policy that their parents had free access to. I will never be able to afford to spend £150/200,000 to buy a house. I will live for the rest of my life without the ability to own a property. That "luxury" doesn't exist for me.

But I will still have to pay NI contributions to keep this householding generation in pensions in their privately owned houses. And when I come to retire, I don't have any real expectation that a pension will be there for me, because the current generation have got this idea that you spend what you earn and look after yourself. I know too many people that are earning and not paying tax or NI. Every bastard is at it.

Thatcher's legacy for me is one that I will live with for life. Till the fucking day I die I will have that womans legacy vandalising every part of my life.

And all I hear on the TV and in the newspapers is what a wonderful and important figure she was, just because she was a politicain and ALL journo's have to keep the politicains happy.

can't remember who I was

Right to buy?!?!?

13.04.2013 11:13

All you sad cunts whinging about her introducing the right to buy and how good it was seem to have forgotten the flip side. This decision prompted a mass sell off of council housing but no replacement housing ever arrived. Councils just pocketed the money to spend on other things as there was no obligation whatsoever to replace the sold off council housing. This reduced the amount of available social housing and forced more people into the hands of private landlords.

Fuck the witch is all I can say. She didn't give a flying fuck about people. Why should we give a fuck about her? Yet another evil cunt of a politician who cared more about the economy than the people her decisions directly affected. I had a drink to celebrate on Monday, I'm going to be partying tonight at 6pm and you know what? If there are any parties going off on Wednesday after the army have had to protect her funeral, I'm going to celebrate then as well.

Ding dong the witch is dead and we're fucking happy
