Does Thatcher's death deserve rejoice?

Similarly, I'll be pleased when individualism and selfishness (which Thatcher taught us so well) die...rejoicing over her passing makes little sense when her vile ideology still dominates the political landscape.

Sure. Of course there is reason to celebrate some people's death, contrary to what the user I quoted was saying. Is celebrating Hitler's death unacceptable, then?

Anyone cheering or celebrating is a disgrace. You never cheer somebodies death. Ever.

Sorry to go off topic, but why do you consider individualism a "vile ideology"?

The amount of annoying pseudo-politicians on facebook today is ridiculous, I can understand disagreeing with her ideologies but considering most people weren't even alive during the time she was in office, celebrating her death just seems pathetic and a cry for attention

Yeah, well, Thatcher did ban free milk for kids. 1-0.

No, the death of nobody deserves rejoice.

Agreed, a lot of people on TSR are saying that Thatcher was great, even though they were not alive when she was in power, yet complain about Cameron . Unless one was alive when she was in power, then one cannot really have a valid opinion of her rule. I'm old enough to remember it, and unless you had money, she could not give a stuff about you.

What a ridiculous statement. Do you seriously believe that people can only have true opinions on things that they were alive to experience?
What are the complaints about Cameron regarding? Context is fairly important in making that claim.
As for your opinion she did not just care about the rich...

True, the person I know who said he'd have a party when she died wasn't alive when she was in power and I get the impression that his hatred is just based on what his parents have told him

I have seen people on here complain about Cameron, yet say that Thatcher was wonderful. Cameron and Thatcher are the same. As for her preferring the rich, hello!! Poll Tax, expecting a traffic warden to pay the same charge as a Duke of the Realm. Bonkers! With all due respect, I see you are 22, so did not live in Thatchers Britain. I'm a lot older than you, and I lived in Thatchers Britain, so I think I'm more qualified to talk about it.

Hitler?

What about hitler, stalin, pol pot?

They may hold similar ideologies but they've by no means passed the same policies.
They have completely different backgrounds too.
The only right-wing complaint I've heard of Cameron is that he's not enough like her - which I would agree with to an extent. But then she wasn't held back by a coalition.

I don't think she expected them to pay the same but the same percentage. I see nothing wrong with that.
Lefties just don't understand the concept of low taxation. It's a big debate that I'm not going into right now but I can tell you it has nothing to do with not caring about the poor.

Being older doesn't make you anymore qualified at all. And I'm 20 by the way.
Maybe studying politics to a larger extent than me could make you more qualified.
In fact, being alive during those times could make your view biased and warped to one opinion - especially if you have links to miners. Therefore making you less qualified since my view's objective (despite having a miner as an uncle).
Who are you to say that I don't understand the effect her policies had on certain groups of people? I understand perfectly well.
