Margaret Thatcher’s funeral is taking place on the 17th April 2013. That is also my birthday! What have I done! I do not deserve to have to share\u00c2\u00a0this day with such a cruel woman. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Having police and the armed forces protecting your funeral route speaks volumes. She was only a shopkeepers daughter….. who hated and looked down upon\u00c2\u00a0the majority of people in our Country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, and she married into extreme wealth. Shopkeepers daughter when it suited.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am still alive. Margaret Thatcher isn’t. I\u00c2\u00a0posted on Twitter\u00c2\u00a0the day she died that I was not so much happy that she was dead, but I was sorry that she ever lived.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know her family and friends will be\u00c2\u00a0upset and I respect them in this time of mourning.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do not respect Margaret Thatcher.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No amount of Tory establishment\u00c2\u00a0(or BBC commemorations)\u00c2\u00a0propaganda will change that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five photographs from the past. 1989-1990<\/strong><\/p>\n

A mock-up Margaret Thatcher on a Camden Ambulance Station stretcher with staff\u00c2\u00a0taking part in a demonstration in the National Ambulance Dispute.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two letters of support from Hampstead School pupils showing what they thought of Mrs Thatcher (these are sweet and funny!) Where are these people now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two photographs of myself speaking at an anti Poll Tax public meeting in Hampstead Town Hall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I played a part in her downfall! I was not alone!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will celebrate my birthday and raise a glass to all the families, people, communities and industries that made Britain great. The very things that Margaret Thatcher despised and cold-heartedly destroyed.<\/strong><\/p>\n
