Protest outside cinema in Chesterfield yesterday. While southern tories are flocking to cinemas to see the film up north cinemas are empty – in Tyneside only 2% of seats were booked! The t-shirt worn above shows that Thatcher’s funeral will be similarly greeted across the class divide.
Here’s a passionate and eloquent comment posted earlier from Patrick of London Class War which deserves to be read by all:
‘Margaret Thatcher being glorified like some sort of heroine in a film about her life. Oh yes I remember that Tory bastard, she brought us the Youth Training Scheme, the Poll Tax and was the destroyer of the trade unions. She is responsible for the greed and the wealth made by those as greedy as herself by using the working class as cheap labour. Many a man & woman were given their marching orders, so that they could use the youth of the day to work for little reward under the pretence that they were being given training for a future job. It was cheaper to use a kid out of school, paying £25 quid than have an employee who was paid £150 a week. She is responsible for the destruction of some of our greatest industries, the miners, the dockers, the steel workers, the printers. She privatised everything & even today, several decades on we are still feeling what she started all those years ago. Real social housing was taken away in favour of selling off council housing which has led to the kind of homeless epidemic we see around us every day. Hospitals were closed & sold off, wards sat there empty for months, sometimes years. She is hated & dispised by millions. Unlike Robin Hood she robbed the poor to give to the already rich parasites who still profit at our expense even today. We were not asked what we would like done for the benefit of all in our country & for all. We are forced to bail out greedy bastards every day.
It is good to know that there were good people out there who stood side by side against her, who fought bravely and defiantly against her, her cabinet and her bastard government. We had industries which were the envy of the world & one by one she crushed the life out of them. She sold off all our public services to profiteers who didn’t give a fuck & even today we see on the news, in the papers her lasting legacy with pensioners in privately run old peoples homes, mistreated, abused, assaulted & left to lay in their own shit. Our household bills are through the roof, gas, electricity & even our weekly grocery bills are all sky high. This is what Thatcher left us and I for one would like nothing more than to see the bitch burning on a heap of her own shit.
A state funeral for her? You’ve got to be fucking joking & we are expected to foot the bill? No fucking way. She deserves to be turned into fertiliser, pissed on, squatted over an shit on. She may look frail & pitiful looking now, yet she showed no pity or remorse & we shouldn’t show her any. The sooner she’s gone the better & by the look of the picture above, many will celebrate her demise. It is only a shame she never got what she should of got in Brighton.
Our greatest victory was smashing the poll tax when we had had enough & took to the streets in 1990 we worked together in solidarity & that time has never been forgotten. We can do so again, work together. Groups that before wouldn’t work together sat side by side at the ALARM Conference on Saturday 7th January. The way forward is open to us so we can again form alliances, form organisations all over the UK in towns, in cities for the rebellion that will surely come, if not now then its not far off, because a new generation of kids from working class backgrounds under the present government are being treated in much of the same way we were in our youth.
Our defiance is taking over empty homes, occupying work places, striking & telling the rich scum to FUCK OFF. But before we get started destroying the upper class toff bastards let’s have the greatest celebration ever on the day that THATCHER DIES!!!’
