What is it with these idiots and Twitter, are they so stupid as to think their comments won't come to light. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

It seems to have been an excuse for wanton destruction and riots which have no relevance except for some excitement for the unemployed, benefit snatching, layabouts. OK, rant over! Spot on, Cathy. Most of these kids weren't even born when Maggie reined. It makes me sick, and it makes me ashamed to be English. Have some respect for the dead you silly little idots.

Also at that stupid song from the Wizard of Oz that has got into the singles charts. I may be wrong but the singles charts are on Radio 1 and I think the listeners there are far too young to know or understand anything much about politics, past or present.

Pity you weren't in charge now! RIP Maggie My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I am so glad it wasn't marred by rotten behaviour, protests or ignorant and violent displays and that no nasty incidents occurred. Now I hope her memory and legacy will be restored or at least valued for the times in which her leadership took place! R.I.P My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
