This shocking graffiti was today spotted in central London as the drama teacher behind one of the vile Thatcher 'death parties' today compared Britain's greatest post-war prime minister to Hitler.
Romany Blythe, 45, who helps troubled children at schools in Brighton, East Sussex, has created a web page called: The witch is dead' and encouraged thousands to 'p***' on the Iron Lady's grave.
After being confronted about her actions, an unrepentant Ms Blyth has described herself as 'the voice of reason', adding: 'they danced in the streets when Hitler died too'.
Her comments came as the graffiti, which reads 'Burn in Hell Maggie', was spotted in the 'Graffiti Tunnel' of Leake Street in Lambeth, central London, also known as the 'Banksy Tunnel'.
Hatred: 45-year-old drama teacher Romany Blythe, who works with troubled children, asked followers: 'Who wants to p*** on her grave?'
Ms Blythe, 45, said: 'People say you shouldn't speak ill of the dead - but it depends who the dead person is. We just don't want to whitewash what happened when she was Prime Minister.
'In normal circumstances celebrating someone's death would be irresponsible,' she told the Brighton Argus. 'But we are generation X, upset people that left school to find hopelessness and despair.
'She was a despot. They danced in the streets when Hitler died too. Mrs Thatcher was friends with Pinochet. She chose her friends very wisely.'
On the day of former prime minister Baroness Thatcher's death Ms Blythe wrote on her Facebook page: 'So the old bag has copped it finally! Party in the square tomorrow then!'

(22,143 posts)Thatcher was a disgusting, vile, cruel piece of dog shit. A reprehensible human that deserves all the scorn, derision and vituperation that is being rained down on her odious, putrid corpse.
Sometimes I wish there was a Hell.

(2,383 posts)I didn't grow up in the Thatcher era but I grew up in the Reagan era and when Reagan died I didn't go out and celebrate, I thought to myself- he was an interesting man but he sucked, that was that.
I discussed this a lot yesterday in London and many people thought it was distasteful and unbecoming of British society. Even Johnny Rotten agrees with me, he said that he didn't like her policies but he's not going to stomp on her grave.
Thatcher was liked enough to be elected 3 times (if it wasn't for Major, it'd have been 4)- Even Blair/Brown modeled themselves after Thatcherism. I'd much rather vote for Tory today than BNP or UKIP, either which would embrace Thatcher's racism at a drop of a hat.

(22,143 posts)"Taste" wasn't in this person's repertoire. Neither were class, honor, compassion or decency.
So, I don't really care if people don't like it. The ills she caused are still being suffered today. Maybe those that are offended should think about how offensive the things she did were.
