PEOPLE CELEBRATING Over Margret Thatcher's (Iron Lady) Death

Smashed shop windows, paint bombs and police being attacked were all consequences of the Left's sick 'celebration' of Baroness Thatcher's death last night. 
Hundreds took to the streets as macabre ‘Thatcher death parties’ were held late into the night across the country, organised by critics of the so-called 'Iron Lady.'
In Brixton, south London, two women were arrested on suspicion of looting a store and riot police were deployed as the crowds which had been drinking since 5pm started to become more aggressive, refusing to let buses through the streets.
More than 300 people, including the young and old partied until late at night on the streets of London, clutching cans of cider and cartons of milk as they danced along to reggae and 1980s music. Many children also attended the impromptu event with their parents some wearing fancy dress, fairy wings and clutching balloons.The carnival-like celebrations also drew crowds who had no knowledge or interest in at Thatcher, but who wanted to join in with the revelry. 
Brixton was the scene of intense rioting during her time as Prime Minster -  the unrest was blamed on deep social divisions, racial tensions and unemployment.

At 11pm last night, party-goers climbed the Ritzy Cinema to replace the billboard of films to say ‘Margaret Thatchers dead’ . 
They received cheers and applause from fellow revellers as they did so.
Later they added the words ‘LOL’, meaning ‘laugh out loud’, followed by ‘Oh Aye’. 
The two hooded men who covered their faces as they replaced the words on the Picture House cinema also attached a sign reading ‘the bitch is dead’.
The Ritzy Cinema said it had nothing to do with masked people and later tweeted its thanks to those who helped clean up broken letters and damage.
Pictures of anti-Thatcher graffiti scrawled on walls in Brixton also appeared on Twitter, with one reading: 'You snatched my milk! & our hope.'
Banners were held stating ‘Rejoice Thatcher is dead’ by drunken crowds, many of whom were too young to remember her as prime minister.
Sickening messages also began flooding the internet minutes after the official announcement.
Revellers danced the conga, drank champagne and chanted: ‘Maggie, Maggie, Maggie – Dead, Dead, Dead.
Barnados charity shop was a casualty of the celebrations and this morning the store front had been left with a gaping hole in the glass.
Alex Bigham, a councillor in Lambeth representing Stockwell condemned the celebrations and said 'Even if you detested her policies, many of which I did, it is tasteless posturing.' 
The Metropolitan Police said: 'Police dealt with a group of approximately 100 people in Brixton who caused low level disorder including throwing missiles at officers.'
They confirmed that two women were arrested on suspicion of burglary after being found inside a shop in Brixton. The shop front had been smashed.
Six police officers were injured when a scuffle broke out at a party in Bristol celebrating the death of Margaret Thatcher.
The advertisement for the street party read: 'Let's see the evil Tory off in style. May she never ever RIP.'
Details of the event were posted on the Bristol Indymedia website, which lists '10 reasons to hate Thatcher', including her anti-trade union policies, employment policies, politics of individualism and approach to the Falklands.
Police were called to Chelsea Road in the Easton area of the city during the early hours of today where 200 people had gathered.
One officer remains in hospital and one person was arrested for violent disorder.
Chief Inspector Mark Jackson, of Avon and Somerset Police, said: 'We were called to Chelsea Road, Easton at around 12.30am today.
'Around 200 people had gathered to have a street party and refused police requests to peacefully disperse.
'Bottles and cans were thrown at officers, six of whom suffered injuries. One remains in hospital.
'A police vehicle was damaged and one person was arrested for violent disorder.
'Some small bin fires were also started and the fire service also attended.'
Meanwhile, in Glasgow, more than 300 people gathered in the city centre for street party, organised on Twitter.
Members of organisations including the Anti-Bedroom Tax Federation, the Communist party, the Socialist party, the Socialist Workers party and the International Socialist Group, were joined by members of the public in the city’s George Square.
A chorus of ‘so long, the witch is dead’, along with chants of ‘Maggie Maggie Maggie, dead dead dead,’ could be heard among the popping of champagne bottles.
In Leeds, people cheered and even handed out ‘Maggie death cake’ at another of several street parties across the UK last night. In west Belfast, a crowd assembled on the streets outside the Sinn Féin office in the Lower Falls road where music was played as people danced and passing motorists sounded their horns.People were seen huddling in a crowd as they drank and sang to celebrate the 86-year-old's death. Petrol bombs were thrown at police in Derry amid celebrations and missiles were thrown at police.
