there is a huge difference between learning the lessons of the past, how things got fucked up, who did it and how we make sure it doesn't happen again and wishing death, injury and bad health on the person to blame for it.


Firstly, the 'let it go' attitude is an exhortation to do netiehr thing. It implores us to forget.

But whilst there is a difference, the latter is part of the former.Commemoration is how we remember. Group activities are how we make it a part of our culture so it becomes normalises and gains continuity.

So, the jubilation at thatcher's karking it is a key part of people learning the lessons of history. There'll be so much emetic sludge spoken about her, politicians of all parties will talk of her greatness. It's a fucking lie. Those of us who know otherwise need to be ready to speak up loudly. Not just for our own sense of vengeance, but because those who are younger don't know what went on. And those who died in the south Atlantic, on a hospital trolley or at Potters Bar won't be able to speak for themselves.
