Why we need dissenting voices to ruin the state show.
Fitwatcher | 14.04.2013 14:03
Thatcher has been given a state ceremonial funeral. Our ruling class want to show the world how much she was loved and respected. They desperately don’t want any dissenting voices ruining the show.
Fitwatch truly hopes that they do not get their wish. Thatcher was a prime architect of repressive policing and institutional racism. If we allow such a woman to be honoured in this way, what does that say about us?
Thatcher was a consistent apologist for police violence, racism and corruption:
She colluded in the police cover-up at Hillsborough and the fabrication of witness statements to suggest it was the fans, not the police, who were responsible for the deaths of 96 people.
She defended the infamous ‘sus’ laws that were used to harass, attack and humiliate Afro-Caribbean communities, and militarised the police in response to the 1981 riots. She also happily played up to fascist views, famously promoting the idea that Britain was becoming ‘swamped’ by immigration.
She encouraged the police in their brutal attacks on trade unionists during the many strikes that dominated her period in office, and colluded with the police to tell a pack of lies to the media. Police falsified statements to show that the police charged at Orgreave with batons and horses only after striking miners had attacked the police. They used this lie to try and fit up 93 miners with riot charges.
The Metropolitan police have tried to frighten people away from protesting at Wednesdays funeral with scare stories and threats. They announced they would be monitoring social media, and have refused to rule out pre-emptive arrests. They have now said they will ‘prioritise’ section 5 public order act, which gives them huge discretion to arrest if anyone causes ‘offence’.
They do this because they are scared. They know how much this woman was hated. Lets get to the streets, and tell the world that Thatcher was not worthy of honour.
Weds 17th April
We are everywhere. But especially Westminster, Strand, Fleet Street and St Pauls

Damp certainly, but very well attended as you, and everybody else, can see quite plainly from the pictures.
And nobody was there to take pleasure in another human beings death, we leave that to the Conservative Party and the Labour Party. After all, they have a fact laden history of doing just that in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those people who went to that "celebration" were passing their verdict on the politician who destroyed millions of lives. Now you, clearly, weren't alive then so fortunately you were spared the worst of it. But many continue to live with the legacy of Thatcher and what she did.
These people at this "celebration" are those who lived through Thatcherism along with those who, like you, are too young to remember, but unlike you, had parents that were wise enough to pass the detail of it all on to their children. So they remember what Thatcher did because those sage words stayed with them and allowed them to see the world in a way that you can't.
If you want to come back from where your ignorance took you, take a look at the detail of the world in which you now live.
The thing you paid for that was definately too expensive. The thing that you should have got for free but had to pay for. The unintelligable contract you had to sign which came back at you to rip you off from some forgotten clause. The letter that you got demanding you pay again for what you already own and have in your living room. The thing you bought and thought you had payed for, and then found you had to pay again and again and again for somebody else's opinion on whether it was safe or not. The third, fourth and fifth person you had to pay before you could finally take ownership of that which you had already bought. The little bit on top, the little bit at the bottom, the little bit extra that you had to pay because it all goes back into the economy.
Those things, the things you can't quite put your finger on but you know its just so wrong...that is Thatcherism.
We saw its face in the cold hard light of day. You see its ghost in the misty murky dim of the night.

(great to see the trolls being reduced to being so monosyllabic and telling such blatant lies)
