Agreed. If people want to protest against her getting a £10m funeral though that's different.DiscoCAFC said:

Millwall vigilante justice, just like that half hour in the London riots. Meh, might be fun to see the knuckle draggers bash the liberals heads in and then get their own arses kicked the coppers.0

yes because closing non profitable mines is comparable to the living conditions of north korea,china and ex soviet states.waldo said:

Nothing wrong with a good protest! But this thing, it's no more logical than the arguments the scumbags made for sacking and looting last summer. I'm 33 and I don't feel qualified to comment on the Thatcher years (although I do get the knock-on effect). I was simply too young to understand. I suspect the majority of revellers will not be any older than me.C_A_F_C said:

And what issue have you got with that?
Civil liberties...
If I chose to go a football match that's my business and nothing to do with the State's.

I'd be surprised if 30 Millwall arrived for a ruck let alone 30,0000

Oh dear, can we keep this discussion a bit on topic please before it gets killed by the mods :-)0

If labour had their way we'd have to carry ID cards to go anywhere.BlackForestReds said:One Millwall fan with the Twitter handle 'Ricky MFC Mitchell' said: "To all you p----- protesting on Sat at Trafalgar sq about thatcher, be warned Millwall in town and in force, expect abuse from me #Millwall".
And if Thatcher had had her way we'd all be having to take ID cards to football matches...

Also a mistake and something I opposed.
But Thatcher wanted to limit ID cards to football fans. She was no friend to football...0 -
I know what you mean, but a more accurate description would be she was no friend to hooligans.BlackForestReds said:If labour had their way we'd have to carry ID cards to go anywhere.

Unfortunately, we had reached the point where there were deaths at football & the football authorities had done little to tackle the issues in more than 10 years.
It's wasn't like today, with stewards & all seater stadiums, as we all know.
I disagreed with the football id cards & it may have killed the game, but the clubs weren't addressing the issues.0 -
So celebrating someones death is sick and unBritish?
What about:
Hitler
Mussolini
Saddam Hussein
Gaddaffi
Osama Bin Laden
and Guido Fawkes!
We've been very respectful over their deaths.
What about the front page of The Sun when the Belgrano was sunk!0 -

Can't see it happening. Anyone serious wouldn't be posting crap about it online.
Only semi-related, but I suspect there'll be a few idiots singing 'There's only one Maggie Thatcher' in Barnsley tomorrow.0 -
Shock horror!BlackForestReds said:And what issue have you got with that?

BFR and I agree about something!
ID cards are not British except in times of war.
Mrs Thatcher did many good things but also some not so good and this absurd suggestion was one of the latter.0 -
And if they do they'll be coming back in a coffin. Serious. Anyone who comes out with this sort of stuff tomorrow at Barnsley is going to get the hiding of his life from the locals.RedPanda said:Can't see it happening. Anyone serious wouldn't be posting crap about it online.

I'd put money on a few dickheads doing it from the safety and anonymity of the away end, the kind of people who think Jimmy Saville chants are funny and witty.Fortune 82nd Minute said:

Let's be honest, in recent history I am not aware of any UK street parties celebrating the deaths of Saddam Hussein, Gadaffi or Bin Laden. Certainly not in Trafalgar Sq.MeebaumAzanitch said:So celebrating someones death is sick and unBritish?

If they do, Red Panda, they are putting ALL Charlton supporters at real risk. No-one should underestimate the sheer hatred of Thatcher in that part of the world and the locals really won't take any shit from a few dickheads coming out with this sort of stuff. If they do start spouting off, it will be a very uncomfortable trip back to the coach/station/car for all Charlton supporters.RedPanda said:

Was about to say the same. People used to queue up to dance on Cromwell's grave and head's used to be put on a spike after executions with the a sign saying "Behold the head of a traitor!"MeebaumAzanitch said:So celebrating someones death is sick and unBritish?

Americans celebrated Osama,didn't see anyone here do it. Didn't Hitlers death come 2 days before the german surrender,so perhaps people were celebrating the end of the war rather than his death? But another good comparison of Thatcher to leaders who killed millions through genocide,or who killed thousands of innocent people through terrorism.

These people also died at the height of their notoriety, not 30 years later.0

If they survive their richly deserved kicking, they will no doubt be awarded CL badges, as it is the official party line on the only website in the world which doesn't allow anyone to point out that the woman divided the nation and hated football fans .RedPanda said:t I suspect there'll be a few idiots singing 'There's only one Maggie Thatcher' in Barnsley tomorrow.
(Yeah, I know, ''give it a rest'', ''show some respect'', ''think of Carol and Mark'' blah blah blah sanctimonious crap blah blah blah).
