I wouldn't celebrate the death of anyone tbh. Although I won't exactly be sobbing and tearing my hair out when that disgrace of a human being Joseph Ratzinger cops it.
Never saw such a celebration of Margaret Thatcher with her death. So what about the following people when they die. Would you have a street party for those
David Cameron
the surviving British prime ministers
The 2 George Bushes
Rupert Murdoch
Mikhail Gorbachev
Pope Benedict XVI
Bruce Forsyth
Gary Glitter
Simon Cowell
Paul McCartney
Roger Moore
Gerry Adams
Ian Paisley
a member of the Royal Family
Ronnie Biggs
Richard Branson
Only idiots would have celebrated the death of Maggie Thatcher. Loads of people up here disliked her a LOT, but only a minority would have been celebrating her death. You'd think she'd ordered the killing of thousands of people the way the minority were carrying on. The same goes for those who protested at her funeral as well. This sounds like I'm defending her but I'm not. It just comes across as very callous indeed! Also, Cameron's worse than Thatcher was, so what will people up here be like after he's gone? The right thing to do (for the people of the North and Scotland) would have been to have given their negative opinion of her and leave it at that. Glenda Jackson was a great example of doing this.
Never celebrated a death and never will. Not even my scumbag first husband. I think there's something a bit odd about a person who could celebrate someone's death.

Agreed, no matter who they are they is someone who will miss them and someone that is hurting.

Well yeah, only hundreds.
Protests at her funeral were not so much about her, but public money used to pay for it. That was a disgrace. But this government gets away with pouring public money into all sorts... Al Qaeda in Syria now, it appears.
I didn't celebrate her death... but funnily enough the Conservative Party did, as it gave them a full week to flood the media with their propaganda and rub our noses in it. :mad:

No celebrating, mainly indifference, but the only death there that would upset me would be Paul McCartney's.

Rupert Murdoch - Yes for what he did to Anne Diamond after her baby died.
Mikhail Gorbachev - didn't he do a lot of good for world peace?
Pope Benedict XVI - made the world a safer place for Gary Glitter, so yes.
Bruce Forsyth
Gary Glitter - Yes
Simon Cowell - no but my ears will.
Paul McCartney
Roger Moore - Why?
Gerry Adams
Ian Paisley - see Simon Cowell.
a member of the Royal Family - no but if they ALL died at once I'd dance naked through the streets.
Ronnie Biggs
Richard Branson
Others listed aren't worth thinking about, but seriously wtf has poor Roger Moore done to anyone? Plus as a child he was a victim of scum similar to Gary Glitter.

Nothing wrong with being glad someone is dead if you really hate them with every bone in your body. Just one person I feel that about and would have a party if he died.

I celebrated Margaret Thatcher's death but not in the sense I think the post was intended. Funerals should be a celebration of the persons life not the fact they are dead. Perhaps its my age but I find the post funeral tea and biscuits (piss up) can be not as depressing as you expect but an opportunity to reflect on the good life someone had and a chance to meet old friends.
So celebration is not really the expression to be used here, perhaps jubilation, pleasure not sure but whatever it is hopefully I will live to see a certain smug Labour PM meet his maker.

I'm glad I don't feel like that. I have enough emotion to deal with most days without adding more.
I hate only one person as well, the shite who abused my daughter. When he dies, it won't really mean anything. It won't remove the memory of what he did. The consequences of it will still be here.
My first post here since the opening post. The reason why I put Roger Moore on there was just being associated with the comedy era Bond films which fans often despise
A few new ones from me to go along with the original list
Fidel Castro
Robert Mugabe
Angus Deyton
Stuart Hall (after the recent scandal)
Cilla Black
Bono
Bernie Nolan
Esther Rantzen
Angela Merkal
Donald Trump
Noel Edmonds
Bashar al-Assad
Clint Eastwood
Ian Huntley
Boss of Yorkshire police at time of Hillsborough disaster
Peter Sutcliffe
Only Gary Glitter. I think he is a preying mantis.
Dreadful person, people who harm children are
like cigarette butts you find on the pavement, you just
just put your foot on them and crush them to ash.

Plenty there I'm not keen on, but none of them who's death I'd celebrate.
Incidentally, why Roger Moore ? What's he ever done to anyone ?

Maybe I'd feel a sense of satisfaction if Huntley and Sutcliffe snuffed it, but not enough to have a street party. Not keen on the rest but I wouldn't feel anything either way.
I wouldn't celebrate their deaths, but I wouldn't be grieving either. I'd actually be pretty ambivalent about most of them. I'd feel a moment of sadness for Roger Moore, but I wouldn't be in tears about it - that's the truth.
In the case of someone like David Cameron - I don't like his policies one iota, and my opinion of him isn't high, but I wouldn't celebrate his death. It wouldn't upset me - although if he died young, I would feel sad for his family.
While the death of certain people might make the world a safer place, I still would not celebrate anyones death. To celebrate the death of someone is the most uncivilized behaviour possible in this day and age.
As much as I disliked Saddam and Gaddafi their deaths where barbaric and a disgrace,.life imprisonment would have been more civilized
I wouldn't celebrate anyone's death. That's just Neanderthal. However, if a complete fiend died, I would feel some relief and closure, as would someone who thought I was reprehensible, when I died would, no doubt

From the OPs list, I wouldn't celebrate any of their deaths, but I would celebrate that Cameron wasn't PM any more.

So what's the point in having a party?

Why isn't Jeremy Clarkson on your list ?

I would be very happy if this man was six feet under and I am sure a very great many fellow Zimbabweans/Southern Africans feel the same
