Might be. General attitude from those people, though- Thatcher dies, and suddenly every 15-year old in the land is suddenly an apparent expert in 1980s politics.

I'm not going to act like an expert in politics, let alone British 20th century, but when Osama Bin Laden and Kim Jong Il died, it seemed like there was a lot less revelry.  It just seems strange, I can't picture myself celebrating when George Bush and Dick Cheney kick it.

Well, when Bin laden died, there was quite a lot, but there were also people who were saying we shouldn't celebrate a man's death, no mater how terrible the man.

Right bad example with Bin Laden, but hopefully you get my point.

I dunno, I really don't care about her death anymore. I think at this stage the whole thing has spun out of proportion, like you guys. Much while I dislike her, she doesn't deserve quite this much hate, or this much media attention.

Thank you, that's much more reasonable. Even though I can't say I really knew a great deal about her, her demise certainly shouldn't have been met with revelry by ignorant young tossers who don't know a thing about 1980s politics.

I mean, an old woman's died of Dementia, and the first thing they do is rejoice, openly proclaim she's burning in Hell and throw big parties over it. It's absolutely disgusting.

TBH, I think both reactions need to pretty much end. There isn't much point in getting too defensive of her, either; really the media and public attention might as well just end, because it really doesn't mean much at all.

So she gets a £10 million public funeral and private cremation?
 
Her funeral hould be private, go to the lowest bidder (It's what she would have wanted) and her cremation should be public.
