The feelings of resentment these people have about her and her policies are so strong that they wont disappear immediately just because she's died and I'm pretty sure all the praise she's been receiving in the media these past few days will be making it even worse, so they are no doubt using these protests as a means of releasing it all.

This outpouring of all the tributes from people,many who actually were glad to see the back of her but who are now going on as if she was a paragon of virtue and a near Saint.
They are by far as sickening as anyone who has stuck to their principles and the feelings they have that she was a woman not to be particularly honoured.

Why should peoples opinions have to change,when they have likely learned of and even seen the devastation brought to their communities and families from her time in power.

I have said, I have nothing against her but I am already sick of this gushing of what I see as false sentiment from loads of clearly 2 faced people who at the first opportunity when she was alive, destroyed all her hopes and all she still hoped to do herself in politics.
What sheer hypocrisy.

I think I have more admiration for those who have stood by their principles that didn't like her.
Why on earth should they have to shut up while this artificial kind of canonisation takes place as to her.

She was a strongly divisive figure, she loved creating and dealing with confrontation it seems, now she has died,taht division remains.
Of course respect the dead but this funeral and all that has gone on this week, even the recall of Parliament is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion, as is taxpayers sharing any costs of her funeral.
It is as if attempts to brainwash everyone into believing the Woman was a Saint is taking place.

I just find this whole preparation and the events of the PM rushing back from Europe, spending more time in the commons than he likely has done before for her 'tribute day' nauseating.

I could have understood it more had she still been a serving PM or just retired,no sorry that should be just been sacked by her party.
However, after over 20 years on from being PM, for goodness sake, this is ridiculous and even more so in these economic times.
