By and large I avoided Twitter yesterday, but when I broadcast I always have it on in front of me as it’s a great resource for ‘breaking news’ stories. I decided to block anyone who appeared in my timeline who was gratuitously insulting Margaret Thatcher. I have no objection to people criticising her, it’s the vile personal abuse I cannot abide. And actually there wasn’t that much yesterday – not that I saw anyway.
But let me reserve a special mention for the semi-tragic comedic figure that is known as George Galloway. This is what he tweeted on hearing of her death.
Tramp the dirt down
And to think he leads a party which is called RESPECT. He has apparently also accused her of befriending murderous dictators. Oh the irony. Look in the mirror George, as we salute your indefatigability.
Tosser.
