Thatcher death celebration T-shirts removed from sale in Brighton Centre
9:00am Wednesday 12th September 2012 in News By Emily Walker, Chief Reporter
Margaret Thatcher at the 1976 Conservative party conference
T-shirts on sale at the Brighton Centre celebrating the “death” of Margaret Thatcher have been condemned as “inappropriate”.
Shirts bearing the slogan, “A generation of trade unionists will dance on Thatchers[SIC] grave”, were being sold from a stall in the Brighton Centre as part of the TUC conference yesterday.
But following criticism the stall removed them from sale.
Baroness Thatcher, who suffers from dementia, has suffered deteriorating health in recent years and was too ill to join the Queen for a Golden Jubilee lunch in May.
Hove MP Mike Weatherley condemned those responsible for selling the T-shirts, which bear a picture of a tombstone with the former Prime Minister’s name on, as “sick in the head”.
He said: “I have no doubt that any decent and sensible trade union member would be sickened at the idea of wishing for an elderly lady to die.
You’d have to have something wrong in the head to make those sorts of statements.”
Brighton and Hove City Council disassociated itself from the merchandise – sold within the council owned building.
A spokeswoman said the council would not routinely vet every item sold at the Brighton Centre during private events and would only intervene if it received a complaint or if items were illegal.
The spokesman said: “The TUC hired the Brighton Centre for a private event and we do not ask about every itemthey are selling.
“We have spoken to the TUC who have confirmed the T-shirts have been taken off sale.”
A spokesman for the TUC said: “The T-shirts are no longer on sale.
“They were not officialmerchandise. We have a lot of exhibitors and they were being sold by one of the stalls.”
TUC chairman Brendan Barber condemned the shirts as “completely inappropriate.”

The very fact that TUC conference organisers allowed the sale of this type of completely unacceptable merchandise sums up why interest and support for unions will continue to dwindle. Lets hope that all existing benefits can be turned off as quickly as possible and the country restored to being credible again.

Britain's demise started with Thatcher and was put into terminal decline by Blair and his filth party.
Britain has changed beyond recognition and what was a once wonderful country has become a cesspit of crime and mass immigration.
The media is now controlled to such an extent that political bias has become endemic towards a liberal agenda. It must stop.
You are either to young to remember or too stupid to accept this country needed to be dragged out of the dark ages.

Your correct statement should have been......
..............Good points raised and lets accelerate the withdrawal of benefits to create a sustainable culture of accountability and consequence (good as well as bad)!
Let's work hard on collectively improving the GDP of this once fine country and return us back to great through enhanced productivity and innovation.
Let's also ensure that the negative minority groups are not tolerated and instead are held to account for the nuisance and costs they create for us.
Let's also flush out the people whose behaviour is unacceptable and lock them away for as long as it takes (build more prison capacity if required), or repatriate where appropriate.
Finally, no one is owed a living and everyone has choices so inadaptado why not have another go at posting a comment that adds value?

Funny how Blair, the socialist's friend is a multi-millionaire and the very people who put him into that position are also sharing the hand outs from his benefit programs.

Spin forward to the Labour years 97-2010 and they allow unrestricted immigration with huge numbers of unskilled immigrants flooding the unskilled labour markets. This surplus of labour drives down the wages of British unskilled workers and they are driven to welfare.
Not a peep from the unions.
People like you dont get it because you are a bigot. The working class don't trust the Tories because they are Tories. We know what they are.
Labour and the socialists though they speak with forked tongue. They say they are for the working man but look what they have done for the British working class. Driven them to welfare.
So, they are much worse than tories.......and I hate them for their betrayal. As a working class man I will happily dance on their graves.

I have no objection to Thatcher being granted a state funeral when her time comes. I believe that it would be appropriate to organise it along lines with which she would feel comfortable. The whole ceremony should be put out to competitive tender. This would ensure that the "hard pressed taxpayer" would get value for money. I am now in a position to guarantee that my bid would be by far the cheapest. There is no need for a gun carriage as I know a pond where, with a bit of paddling about, I can obtain a set of pram wheels. The large cardboard box that could be picked up from the back of Halfords might not sit securely but would certainly be cheaper than oak. The greatest expense I can imagine would be the litre of petrol needed to complete the ceremony in an undeveloped plot in Shoreditch. The final journey of the bucket of ashes to the viewing platform on The Shard could be achieved on foot. With the wind in the right direction the "greatest peacetime prime minister" could be scattered across London for less than £3.00.

SomethingsarejustwroSo how do you explain the years of growth and prosperity under Labour from 1997 until 2008? 11 years of growth and lots of jobs. Yes immigration was bad, and yes too many people claimed benefits. But now you have the Tories trying to scare the disabled and get them to work, and not tax their rich mates too much. To blame the ordinary hard working person whilst letting rich companies dodge corporation tax. It it is funny how since growth returned in 2010 it has been eroded by severe goverment cuts and tax rises. To do what, get down the deficit? Get the economy strong first!! The tories are hurting this country's economy and keep blaming labour when it was under them there was long term prospterity and growth. Now all there is severe austerity and doom and gloom and all driven by Thatchers favourite rich boy, Cameron. I hate Thatcher for what she did to this country's industry and I hope she rots in hell for it.

What Labour achieved was no different to taking the countries credit card out and maxing it on appeasing the people who voted them into power, including the workshy and benefit grabbers. Well the parties now over and its time to pay the debt down, which means its work time for the workshy, are you one of them?
Margaret had the strength of leadership and vision to address many of the underlying issues left by the previous Wilson/Callaghan circus ahead of Labour getting the reins back in 97 and setting us all back 10 years. She should be thanked and not berated and we all owe her our immense gratitude for her role in our future.

She wanted the Falklands conflict, 'cos every Prime Minister wants a war to prove their power. And now, with the publication of all that was covered up following the Hillsborough disaster, the power of the Government caused 96 unneccesary deaths. Thatcher left the Government with blood on her hands. Not really concerned that she is in bad health, she should have ensured that all those involved in the Hillsborough should have been brought to justice then, NOT 23 years later. Thatcher was bad for this country. Full stop.

I have no objection to Thatcher being granted a state funeral when her time comes. I believe that it would be appropriate to organise it along lines with which she would feel comfortable.

As for blair, I totally agree with you, I believe he let down the people of this country badly and he should be put on trial for war crimes. It's totally wrong that an underhanded ,evil pig like him is raking in 20 million a year.but that's politicians for you. The worst thing is that there is no viable alternative to the crap that's governing now! The main there parties are exactly the same and the greens are like the Nazi party!

Unfortunately she was stabbed in the back by her own party in 1990; just as our other great PM Churchill was, by the electorate, in 1945 having just got us through our darkest six years in history.
This lady has allowed me over the last thirty odd years to get to where I owe no-one money and can support my eventual retirement; and a secured future for my children and grandchildren.
If the regime in power upon her death (hopefully not for some time) will not pay for a fitting send-off, then I for one will donate.

It it is funny how since growth returned in 2010 it has been eroded by severe goverment cuts and tax rises. To do what, get down the deficit? Get the economy strong first!! The tories are hurting this country's economy and keep blaming labour when it was under them there was long term prospterity and growth. Now all there is severe austerity and doom and gloom and all driven by Thatchers favourite rich boy, Cameron. I hate Thatcher for what she did to this country's industry and I hope she rots in hell for it.

The "growth" under Labour that fools like you believe actually happened was smoke and mirrors.
The huge deficit we now have was down to the Labour government creating hundreds of thousands of public sector jobs to win votes without the money to pay for them.
So what happened? You guessed it! The government borrowed the money to pay these salaries and fund their various other initiatives designed simply to win favour amongst people stupid enough to fall for it. You seem an obvious candidate.
Now we have to pay it back. Thanks for those golden years Blair et al.
I do not agree, however, that deregulation of the financial services industry led the Labour government to spend £150 billion a year more than it received in taxes.

The Thatcher t-shirts were totally irresponsible. I was IN Brighton on Monday, the first day of the TUC conference, and had some delegates openly say their liquid lunch was on expenses.
I am in two unions, and wouldn't have it any other way, but I don'y pay my subs for these beer-swilling union dinosaurs to get drunk. There are many good union people, but these ones let the side down.

It is good to see the evil woman and her government finally being exposed for their part in the Hillsborough cover-up. She thought she had got away with it but didn't reckon on the tenacity of the families of the 96 victims refusing to give in until the lies were exposed. South Yorkshire Police's reward for their actions during the miner's strike is becoming unraveled at a rapid pace, dragging in Thatcher and her cronies. Despicable woman.

Labour created jobs, they created lots of prosperity and growth. They should have regulated the banks better to prevent the 2008 crisis though. They should have prevented less immigrants.
All this nonsense about Blair being a war criminal, nonsense, we had to stand with the US and wipe out Saddam Hussein. He was evil and posed a legitimate threat.
I therefore think that since 2010 since we returned to steady, not significant growth the severe austerity plan then came into effect in 2011 the economy has gone backwards. The facts don't lie, it's the governments fault we now have the longest ever peacetime economic recovery since WW2. They won't admit it, partly because they don't care. And partly because they are arrogant, just like Thatcher was. The Tories will always be the rich mans friend. Until the Tories realise that we need a different direction of economic policy given taxing breaks and lowering VAT and even Fuel duty the Economy will continue to stagnate much further. It needs help, stimulus yet all the government care about is the deficit. What is it really, and what is "debt" between countries anyway, certainly not the debt any normal person would understand!!!

As you seem to have an unusual view on the truth allow me to help you by summarising what actually happened to create the feelgood factor...
After being elected (who can explain why, I can't) Blair and his cronies increased the limit on the Countries credit card and took it out on a relentless and misguided spending spree, creating jobs that weren't required and free income for people who weren't contributing. When the credit card statement hit the doormat after Labour had been found out and flushed away and with interest building up, difficult decisions have had to be taken.
I suspect you are one of the people who benefited from Labour's outrageous mismanagement of our great country and yes its payback time. Enjoy!

Lets not forget it was Labours fault the banks regulation cost us, and the banks nearly collapsed, totally agree with that. However, you cannot deny there was prosperity for the UK and europe in those Labour years despite what you claim to be extravagent over spending.
The deficit of a developed country isn't actually that bad, yet still the government has persisted in cutting council budgets, jobs and big council contracts to try and cut it because they are obessed with it. You still won't admit that it's the Tories and not Labours fault we have seen zero growth this year and since 2010 when the Tories took over we were back to growth for a few quarters and now we are not? I agree tough cuts were needed, Labour did over spend a lot and went a bit too far. But the cuts should not be so deep so quickly and growth should be prority but it isn't. At least not yet. It should be. The goverment needs a plan B, it needs to ensure the economy is growing by next year as their forecasts have been slashed time after time. Wake up Cameron and you idiots, sort the economy out before you keep cutting more and more and putting people out of work.
I agree more people should be working, I hate the benefit scrounger as much as you, one of things Labour should be hung for. But to target the disabled is down right disgusting and typical of Tory mentality.
Get people working and get Britain moving.

Spin forward to the Labour years 97-2010 and they allow unrestricted immigration with huge numbers of unskilled immigrants flooding the unskilled labour markets. This surplus of labour drives down the wages of British unskilled workers and they are driven to welfare.
Not a peep from the unions.
People like you dont get it because you are a bigot. The working class don't trust the Tories because they are Tories. We know what they are.
Labour and the socialists though they speak with forked tongue. They say they are for the working man but look what they have done for the British working class. Driven them to welfare.
So, they are much worse than tories.......and I hate them for their betrayal. As a working class man I will happily dance on their graves.

People like you dont get it because you are a bigot. The working class don't trust the Tories because they are Tories. We know what they are.
Labour and the socialists though they speak with forked tongue. They say they are for the working man but look what they have done for the British working class. Driven them to welfare.
So, they are much worse than tories.......and I hate them for their betrayal. As a working class man I will happily dance on their graves.

An evil woman who sold her country down the river.Britain has never recovered from her wicked dismantling of unions that were put in place to protect the working man. She created the use of the welfare state in place of an honest days work and created an underclass in the UK that remains to this day. Where can I get one of these shirts?
