Re: Rot in hell and other examples of liberal tolerance...
Most of us on the liberal left are capable of a more nuanced approach than simply hating a democratically elected political leader and behaving like a badly bought up child when she dies. That sort of thing is reserved for the extremes of all parties.

I agree Tangle. The time to 'drink champagne in the streets' was actually 28 November 1990 when Thatcher left office and was no more in charge of UK politics.
To celebrate by 'drinking champagne' at the actual death of a person who had recently undergone very poor health and for a number of years suffered mental degradation, is frankly socially disgusting.
It amazed and appalled me to read that two of the main instigators of the 'champagne celebrations' are in fact UK school teachers (one of who was so young in 1990 that I doubt she had been weaned!). Teachers are the (so-called) guardian of our children's spiritual and moral well-being - when teachers start playing this hate game we are utterly doomed............
Post of the month has to go to Rahvin for the perfect example of harmonious give and take.......and it's by no means easy.....
