Why were young people out celebrating the death of Thatcher when they weren't even around at that time?

Some people live in areas which are still affected by the decisions she made,they had families who were affected by them too and some just like to jump on the bandwagon.

I actually think it's in very poor taste for any person to celebrate a death and what purpose does it serve anyway? She is dead,she does not care who is out partying over it and if people wanted to make a point against her they could have done it when she was still alive,at least she would have known about it then!

I was about 13 when she left office so lived in her years but not as an adult,i have no desire to party or celebrate and i have sympathy for those who loved her but i am not in awe of her,i see many people who are holding her up as some kind of heroine because they happened to watch the 'Iron lady' and now think this gives them the ultimate knowledge about life under her,it's a kind of irony that many of the people i see who claim to be 'mourning' her were not even born when she was in power.

Any high profile event now adays will trigger off these moronic/feral raised kids. If it hadn't been MT death - they would have latched on to something else....its just the needing for an excuse too 'go rioting/looting/general loutish behaviour'.

This (so-called) ermmm....next generation will be the ones that finally nail the coffin closed on our already 'broken and now totally collapsed society' forever.!!

The moronic mindset of the youth today prevails beyond any reasoning - 'most' considering society 'owes them a living'....with absolutely 'no contribution' from them at all.

Whilst many of the older generations have an argument against MT....these mindless 'feral kids' of today are the result of feral parent breeding ie:-....Like father-like son. Like mother-like daughter....all out of control and no respect for anything or anyone and thats even disregarding this MT issue.!!

All the 'youth excuses' have already been posted....the above is the reality.

I was not at Waterloo,The Battle of the Bulge,or the liberation of Hitler's death camps.

But I know of them,with appropriate feelings.

It's called History.

Some people are still living with Thatcher's legacy to the poor.

I don't condone people celebrating this woman's death and may I state I was no fan of this tory prime minister.

But by your own question will you also not understand why young people will attend her funeral and pay their respect to her on that day, when they haven't got a clue what it was like to be around in those days?

because thatcher's legacy still haunts us. john major tong blair and gordon brown all followed her reckless short sighed selfish political ideas. things done by politicians cast a long shadow

the nhs was set up in about 1945 why are people who where not born then passionate about defending it or on the other side wanting to dismantle it?

Mainly because their parents have explained to them that Thatcher began the mass reduction of Britain's manufacturing industry for the furtherence of the banking and service industries

Because they see everyone else doing it, and they think it's the hip thing to do.

Maybe they walk past the empty shipyards, or abandoned mines or steel works, on their way to be berated at the jobbie centre.

Because its learnt behaviour from left wing parents...the same people who called for nuclear disarmament but only if the west disarmed first.

Most of them were drones of key people in the Unions who were raking it in.

If you look carefully at these young thugs you will notice they are all the same-ill educated, terrorist supporter, anti British, pro IRA and not working. Everyone. Interesting?
