Nottm People gather to celebrate Thatcher's Death

5pm on Monday 8 April 2013

The day dawned...... AT LAST, YAY! 

Margaret Thatcher died before noon today [Monday].  People hearing this spendid news, gathered at the left lion in market square to mark this joyous occasion. 

Margaret Thatcher died before noon today [Monday].  People hearing this spendid news, gathered at the left lion in market square to mark this joyous occasion. A couple of bottles of beer were consumed, party poppers let off. Folks were exhuberant and many smiles were evident!

Some of us had known this all afternoon. But I found it entertaining that many, who had just left their workplaces didn't know. When told however, faces light up and more smiles were added.

May she never ever RIP! 

Personally I can never forgive her for the influences on my life, my family and people I have associated with. I have always wished her ill. Goodbye madam!

By the way .... does anyone know where the trade unions or the labour party were???? Just asking.

I would like to take this opportunity to big up a fellow photographers interpretation of the the Thatcher legacy.  Please check out David Hoffman, a slideshow  at: http://www.hoffmanphotos.com
