Hundreds of people gathered in the rain at London's Trafalgar Square to mark the death of Baroness Thatcher.

Protesters against the former prime minister's legacy brought sparklers, party poppers and balloons.

Some drank cider and Champagne while others wore party hats as they chanted slogans about Lady Thatcher, who died at The Ritz on Monday.

According to that sterling model of journalism, Reuters, there were TWO hundred people at that “protest”.

Also in the article is this, “ to mark the passing of a leader who was loved and loathed in equal measure.” Oh, really? So if half the nation loathed her, I guess the population of Britain is around 400 people.

Totally agree. These oafs and sots are not only specks compared to Lady Thatcher, but they are also quite uncouth to celebrate the death of the person. Leftists tend to be weird creatures ...imagine their angst if someone did that to one of their heroes. Anyways, Lady Thatcher’s image and memory cannot be soiled by their like. She will forever be remembered as long as their is human civilization, while they are like morning fog that vanishes into the ether or like the croaking of many frogs that turns to whisper quiet with the coming dawn. Rest in peace Lady Thatcher.

Me too.

This week has actually been good for we conservatives, ironically. The hardleft has been so vile, there has been and will be a backlash.

Such an extreme minority don’t forget. And also don’t forget, this is just a sign of how much and how hard she fought these lazy, dirty, left wing scummmers. Many of them weren’t even born!

If anything it is a tribute and a sign that there is still a lot left to do.
