Councillor Florence Anderson, a past deputy leader and a member of Sunderland Council's Community and Safer City Scrutiny Committee has been suspended by her local Labour party for the comments she has made on a Facebook site.It is said that she is a member of the Facebook Group "Margaret Thatcher doesn’t have to be dead before we give her a funeral"and the web site “I’ll dance on Thatcher’s grave, even if she's buried at sea”.
It is alleged that she has 'liked' a Facebook comment that the IRA should blow up the next Tory conference and that she has previously said that she hopes Margaret Thatcher would "burn in hell"!
Despicable though these comments are, this woman is not without her supporters, Dave Hopper, general secretary of the Durham Miners Association, has said "there wouldn’t be much sympathy if things like that did happen" ...... "certainly there will be a lot of people who will be very, very pleased to see the demise of people like Thatcher"and "I’ll not be shedding any tears for the demise of any Tories."
Given that the IRA killed about 500 British soldiers I doubt the good people of Sunderland and esewhere who lost loved ones to this evil organisation will be particularly enamoured with her remarks, and my personal disgust knows no bounds.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of the last Conservative goverment, and Lady Thatcher herself, she is a human being and deserves the same respect we all do, gloating at or wishing for another's death is the action of the lowest of the low, people without a shred of human decency.
Cllr Anderson is, however, completely without remorse saying "I stand by what I said".
In this she, and those like Dave Hopper, demonstrate the intolerance and hatred of the hard left who lecture everyone else on tolerance and diversity but in truth are nothing more than increasingly hate filled hypocrites.
