Important Message regarding the funeral next Wednesday of Margaret Thatcher & demonstrations that are planned against it !Respect For the Unemployed & Benefit Claimants urges group members to 'not attend' & save your energy for the real 'fight' against the ideas of David Cameron.
The fight against those ideas of Thatcherism continues within today's Conservatives.
Therefore we will not be in London on the day of the funeral. We will not participate in 'violence or disorderly protests' on that day. We will however be having an on-line tribute in memory of the victims of Thatcherism.
We will decide the time & place, not Thatcher, not Cameron & not the Conservatives - this government is trying to provoke us into a response, to futher demonise & ridicule. Our time will come & let them run in fear - we will save our energies & fight united with trade unions in battle at the right time.
United we stand, divided we fall
The Battle for Orgreave
Our on-line tribute will be for:
* The Unemployed thrown onto dole
* The Miners
* The Shipbuilders
* The Steelworkers
* The Old that Froze to Death
* The Old that Couldn't Afford Food
* The Thousands Made Homeless because of the 'Poll Tax .
For:
* The North
* The Disenfranchised Black Youth
* The Lost Generation of Young
* The Hillsborough families
* The men dead in a conflict designed to win her an election
* The men traumatised from the Falklands War
* Northern Ireland
For:
* OUR my mam and dads
* OUR Grandparents
* OUR brother & sisters
* Every LGBT kid who committed suicide due to Section 28 in schools
* The teachers
* The victims of gaybashing which were never investigated due to pressure from her government
* The gay men stitched up and banged up for being gay
For:
* The women of Greenham Common who were beaten and had their kids forcibly taken into care for no reason!
* The men and women assaulted in the Battle of the Beanfield!
* The men and women consigned to the scrapheap
* The services that used to belong to all of us and now PRIVATISED & are badly run in the hands of the rich
* The country that used to stand for social justice and created The National Health Service
* The mentally ill thrown out on the streets
* The children abused in care homes and ignored or worse abused by some in her government
On the day of her funeral - We remember the real victims of Thatcherism & conservatism.
It's not wrong to 'speak ill' of the dead if they did wrong & did ill deeds to others in life. It is right that we work to combat the legacy they created going forward - to progress we must remember & understand that past - NOT forgive & forget.
This does not make us negative or ignorant -it means we learn from history & apply those lessons in the present & future !!

I couldn't agree more!
All my family were made unemployed (father,brothers,uncles and numerous cousins) when the mines were closed in South Wales. My mother too when he place of work was sold out to a Canadian company. I was in school at the time and was amazed at how much life changed in such a short time.
She couldn't of been that bad... She did get voted in 3 timrs
People keep saying ...... well she kept getting re-elected ! Very easy to distort 'democracy' & get re-elected by introducing the 'poll tax'
We can remember having to remove ourselves from the electoral register to avoid paying the unjust tax that was finally scrapped ! Many potentially labour voters up & down Britain did the same - very easy to get re-elected if large numbers are only voting for the Conservatives - Maggie Thatcher's distortion of 'Democracy' !!
I agree best not to go to the funeral - it just gives the Tories a reason to attack the left. She's dead, good riddance, let the establishment and their Toadies mark the passing of one of their own.
I hope the streets are deserted.
how about community street parties well away from the hallowed halls of infamy x
On Saturday 13th April, UK Uncut will be using 'civil disobedience' in London against a massive wave of cuts that will hit millions of people across the country - details click here http://www.facebook.com/events/449156988493859/?ref=3
In April, the bedroom tax, the benefits cap, a new test for disability allowance and cuts to council tax benefit all kick in with devastating effects for people, including more hunger and homelessness.
'Respect For the Unemployed & Benefit Claimants' will be there, so if your in the area... join us.
We will resist these brutal and unnecessary cuts by bringing them home to the ‘architects of austerity’.
Last year a party was held outside Nick Clegg’s house. This year another well-known millionaire misery maker, to be revealed on the 13th April, can expect a visit they’d rather not have…
We want to make this a family-friendly and accessible action. There’ll be plenty of activities on the day to keep people entertained and engaged, including bedtime stories for the kids!
Meet at 11.30am, Kings Cross station, main concourse, Saturday 13th April. Look out for the UK Uncut Removals Team at King’s Cross, and bring a topped up Oyster card or travel-card. We’ll provide travel fares for those who need them.
She will always be remember by the people especially those people who are helped by his works. RIP Margaret Thatcher.
