Just watched Return Of The Jedi. Disgusted by the distasteful scenes at the end where everyone is celebrating the death of Emperor Palpatine. He may have been divisive, but he was strong and he made decisions and stuck to them, and I think he should get a bit of respect. He was, after all, a little old man who died, when you remove any other context whatsoever.

I don't recall "celebrations" when Thatcher fell from power on the same kind of scale as what is happening now, which leads me to believe this has **** all to do with Thatcher, per se, but rather shows what a nasty society the UK has become after years of "new labour" rule.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Pretty sure Mrs T had little to do with it other than being in power at the time. Didn't she famously say to Gorbachëv, 'I hate Communism'?Comment
