Law graduate Bryan Simpson, 24, who sits on the executive council for Britains largest trade union Unite, was
the architect of a vile party in Glasgow.
Using his Facebook account, he invited over 8,000 people to the street party on Monday night.
More than 1,200 people signed up to the page to state they were going to the anti-Thatcher party.
The Strathclyde University graduate later posted an image of himself and friends celebrating the death of
Thatcher by spraying champagne.
He was a central figure at the party, joining a conga line and an impromptu dance after a piper turned up.
Simpson, who comes from a respectable Glasgow family, was seen taping up a banner to a statue in George
Square and punching the air, and chanting Maggie, Maggie, Maggie dead, dead, dead.
Mr Simpson later posted an image of himself and friends 'celebrating' the death of
Thatcher by spraying champagne

A member of the anti-capitalist group wrote: Thatcher is Dead Party in George Square. 5pm.
On another popular internet page, anarchist Ian Bone, 65, used his blog to tell his army of followers where the
street parties were being held.
Were happy to be described as disrespectful. I am being disrespectful and I am glad of
that. We are rejoicing at her death, I dont care about her family or her friends
- Former Unison branch secretary Rahul Patel
Mr Bone published an image of Mrs Thatchers head being cut open by a meat cleaver. Next to the image he
wrote: The best cut of all. He also encouraged anarchists to meet at Trafalgar Square in London this
Saturday to rejoice at a class war party. Mr Bone claimed it would be the best night out since the poll tax
riot.
Neither Simpson nor Mr Bone were available for comment last night.
In Brixton, more than 300 people began gathering on Monday afternoon chanting Ding dong, the wicked witch
is dead.
Former Unison branch secretary Rahul Patel, 54, led vile chants and boasted that he had organised the event
through the Brixton Socialist Workers Party.
He told the Mail: Were happy to be described as disrespectful. I am being disrespectful and I am glad of that.
We are rejoicing at her death, I dont care about her family or her friends.
In Bristol, one group used a well-known anarchist website called Indymedia to urge its followers to see the evil
Tory off in style. The internet posting told people to congregate in a particular street in the city on Monday
night.

Ian Bone, 65, used his blog to tell his followers where the street parties were being held
Organisers sent the message to thousands of activists using social media websites such as Twitter and
Facebook. The anti-Thatcher party soon descended into violence.
Elsewhere on the internet, Left wing agitators set up a page which said: Margaret Thatcher is dead. This
ladys not returning.
The authors, computer administrator Jared Earle and musician Antonio Lulic, wrote: How are you celebrating?
Let us know... or get to one of the parties near you on Facebook. They later told the Guardian newspaper their
provocative website had led to them receiving angry Twitter messages from Thatcher supporters telling them
to watch their backs.
A group calling itself the Informal Anarchist Federation claimed responsibility for smashing the window of a
charity shop in Brixton.
Writing on the Indymedia website: On the celebration of Thatchers death, we smashed a window ofBarnardos charity shop in Brixton using a concrete slab from a bin on the street. And it was easy. We would
of done more if it werent for self-proclaimed pacifists violently attempting to arrest us.

Police turn up wearing riot gear as celebrations in Brixton turned sour on Monday
This action was in solidarity with all migrants detained, deported and struggling to cross borders. Barnardos
was targeted because they fund and administrate Cedars detention centre in Croydon. They detain children,
families and individuals who merely seek freedom from poverty, persecution, murder, rape and other
oppression the borders.
Simpson, 24, sits on the executive council for Unite after being elected as a young observer.
He has been involved in public disturbances before the anti-Thatcher party in Glasgow. He joined a mob thatattacked the Tory Party HQ in protest at rising tuition fees in November 2011.
Mr Simpson hurled a megaphone towards police officers during the violent disturbances
at Millbank, Central London, in 2010 - but missed, hitting a fellow protester on the head.
BBC cameras captured him, in red, as a police medic's cap is pulled off
He hurled a megaphone towards police officers during the violent disturbances at Millbank, Central London
but missed, hitting a fellow protester on the head. Simpson admitted affray last year. He received a four-month
prison sentence, suspended for 12 months.
Mr Bone is a well-known rabble-rouser who regularly backs anti-establishment protests on his internet blog.
At times he has written in gleeful terms about riots which have crippled parts of the country. His firebrand
stance led him to be dubbed by one commentator as the most dangerous man in Britain.
He publishes anarchist newspapers such as Class War, which, at its height, sold 15,000 copies a week.

This is a free country isn't it, arnt people allowed by law to gather and party or protest?...If not why are our troops dying in other
countries to bring them 'freedom' when you are so intent on denying it to the people in the UK?

everything is so unfair..... I'm sick of these losers.

I held her in contempt when she was alive and it would be duplicitious to do anything else now.- oyagdC7, scunthorpe, United
Kingdom, 10/4/2013 2:11 +++++ Your post goes on about "ordinary people", of which I am one. My parents worked in a factory, I
went to a comprehensive school, I didn't go to Uni or college. Following a period in the Armed Forces I WORKED and managed to
get into Information Technology, (in the early days of PC's). I didn't have a degree or much in the way of qualifications but ended up
running my own company VERY successfully. I was a child of the Thatcher Years and had the same background as many, so why is
my recollection so different? Because I was PREPARED TO WORK HARD! There are always whiners but as far as I am concerned
Baroness Thatcher was one of the BEST PRIME MINISTERS we have ever had and we could sorely do with her to sort out the
mess we are in now! Stop the Whining and get a life!

Seeing as this self-righteous little twerp was still riding a bike with stabilisers in the late eighties his "oh so right-on" anger at the
injustices of the poor seem a little fake. Him and his fellow "revellers" are little more than pawns for the Marxist union barons and the
nasty arm of the Labour party - The Fabian Society. This prominent Glasgow family, along with the other Champagne Socialists are
entirely without honesty, morality, respect for themselves or others. No doubt this gives him all the necessary qualities to follow a
career in legal profession and make himself a nuisance as a Human Rights Lawyer.

These two people and the rioters they are inciting are nothing but scum and vandals and no higher up the evolutionary scale than
pond life.

Name and shame all of the clowns who took part in the vile shameful act of celebrating someone's death while vandalizing property
and being antagonistic and violent towards the police.
