It didn't start til 6, you got there too early.

About 70 people there by 6:30 mate. I'm guessing you showed up at the wrong time since your video looks like it's from early in the afternoon.

I was there too. Atone point from 6.30ish there were upto like 60 people there. Yes the weather was poor, some people went to London and others stayed a away. The point was people did turn up. If the original poster had not turned up 5 hours early he might have actually got some footage!!

I really don't understand how you missed the party to celebrate Thatcher's death in Birmingham. It's been known for years that for those people that don't get down to London for the party in Trafalgar square to assemble in Victoria square for 6pm on the Saturday following her death. Apparently it was on Facebook too. I arrived with a friend at 5.55pm and we had brought a powerful but portable sound system on a trailer and for the next 2 hours played the following tracks at full volume:

31.) V.I.M. - Maggie's Last Party

It's a real shame you weren't there Dave, No reflection on your politics, but I did notice that people from Trot organisations were conspicuous by their absence. I would have thought that like me people might remember how Thatcher did the bosses bidding and never let up in fucking up the lives of ordinary working class people, and that perhaps more people may have thought it a means of getting publicity for the campaign against the present government policies like the bedroom tax (one of our placards said 'What the Poll tax did for Thatcher let the Bedroom tax do for Cameron. We could also say how is it that for someone with her wealth we are being asked to pay for a full state funeral and 750 troops when surely the private sector should pay for that in gratitude for the tax cuts and loopholes she and her class have given them.
What a missed opportunity to get publicity in contrast to the State propaganda we are being subjected to daily and of course this week the slime coming from the Thatcher supporters is just too sickening.
We enjoyed ourselves anyway and talked to passers by too. It is a shame there were only 50 people there. Perhaps you can join us Dave for Cameron's death, there again isn't his name Dave?
