OK, yeah, part of it is the accent and the attitude, but this week many people in the UK have sunk to the levels of those in the Middle East whom we all abhore (or should). We were apalled at the riots in the middle east celebrating the deaths of American Citizens, the attacks on peaceful nations, and the death of Sadam Hussein, to mention only a few. This week in the UK there are protests (of course they aren't riots!) in celebration of the death of a great woman Margaret Thatcher. Their theme song is from the Wizard of Oz, 'Ding, Dong, The Wicked Witch is Dead' Through the use of 'Social Media' it is the number 1 song on itunes in the UK and in the top five of requested songs on the radio. Like her or not, she did a lot for that country, and the world, and women in politics (which may or may not be a good thing, depending on the woman), but she did open doors, none the less.
The mainstream media here is barely carrying the story. Like the news or not, what is happening is real, and should be covered. Yes, these demonstrations probably do not represent the feeling of the majority in the UK but it is just crazy. It lets us see that no matter how civilized we are, our society has the ability to stoop to this level. Sad, very sad.
Rest in Peace Mrs. Thatcher.
