RATUSAN orang turun ke jalan sebagai 'pesta kematian Thatcher' yang diadakan di seluruh negeri Senin malam, yang digelar oleh lawan politik 'Iron Lady'.
Di Bristol, tujuh polisi terluka - satu luka serius - akibat tindak kekerasan dalam sebuah pesta jalanan yang melibatkan 200 orang dan petugas dilempari dengan botol, kaleng dan sampah.
Polisi anti huru hara dikerahkan di Brixton, London selatan, untuk membubarkan kerumunan, yang telah minum sejak pukul 5 sore, lalu menjadi lebih agresif, sementara di Liverpool flare dan kembang api dibakar di Lime Street Station.
Di Bristol polisi dipanggil ke Chelsea Road di kawasan Easton pada Selasa dini hari setelah aksi kekerasan meletus di sebuah pesta jalanan untuk 'merayakan' kematian Baroness Thatcher.
Masalah berkobar setelah tengah malam ketika kerumunan 200 orang berbuat onar dan menolak perintah polisi untuk bubar, seperti dilansir Mail Online.
Puluhan petugas mengenakan perlengkapan anti huru-hara dan perisai dan pentungan dilempari oleh para perusuh dengan botol, kaleng dan sampah.
Sampah wheelie dibakar oleh massa dan sebuah mobil polisi rusak oleh lemparan batu.
Beberapa polisi terluka sehingga membutuhkan perawatan rumah sakit dan satu petugas pria masih dirawat hari ini akibat cedera di leher.
Seorang pria ditangkap karena melakukan kekerasan dan polisi memerlukan waktu dua jam untuk memulihkan keamanan.
Udara pekat dengan asap ganja sebagai respons gembira atas kematian Iron Lady, seraya menyanyikan;
'Maggie Thatcher, Maggie Thatcher, dia sudah mati. Dia tidak ada lagi. "
Beberapa orang minum sampanye sementara yang lain berjalan mengenakan masker Thatcher dan satu orang berpakaian sebagai mantan perdana menteri.
Sound system didirikan di jalan untuk menghangatkan suasana pesta dan kerusuhan pun pecah ketika polisi mencoba menghentikan musik.
Pengangguran Julian Styles, 58, yang terpaksa di-PHK dari pabriknya pada 1984, mengatakan: "Saya sudah menunggu penyihir itu mati selama 30 tahun."
"Malam ini adalah waktunya pesta. Saya minum satu kali setahun sejak diberhentikan kerja di pabrik."
HUNDREDS took to the streets as macabre ‘Thatcher death parties’ were held late across the country last night, organised by critics of the 'Iron Lady.'
In Bristol, seven police officers were injured - one seriously - as violence erupted at a street party of 200 people and officers were pelted with bottles, cans and rubbish.
Riot police were deployed in Brixton, south London, as the crowds, which had been drinking since 5pm, started to become more aggressive, while in Liverpool flares and fireworks were set off outside Lime Street Station.
Messages to organise the parties began flooding the internet minutes after the official announcement.
In Bristol police were called to Chelsea Road in the Easton area of the city during the early hours of today after violence erupted at a street party to 'celebrate' the death of Baroness Thatcher.
Trouble flared after midnight when a rowdy 200-strong crowd refused police requests to disperse.
Dozens of officers donned riot gear and used shields and batons as they were pelted with bottles, cans and rubbish.
Wheelie bins were set on fire by the mob and a police car was damaged by the flying missiles.
Some of the injured police needed hospital treatment and one male officer was still detained today with a neck injury.
One man was arrested for violent disorder and it took police more than two hours to restore calm.
The air was thick with cannabis smoke as revellers toasted the death of the Iron Lady, chanting;
'Maggie Thatcher, Maggie Thatcher, she's not living anymore. She's not living anymore.'
Some people drank champagne while others walked around in Thatcher masks and one man dressed up as the former PM.
Sound systems were set up in the street to fuel the party atmosphere and the trouble broke out when police tried to stop the music.
Unemployed Julian Styles, 58, who was made redundant from his factory job in 1984, said: 'I've been waiting for that witch to die for 30 years.
'Tonight is party time. I'm drinking one drink for every year I've been out of work.'
