You snipped the last bit conveniently, which would indicate that i wasn't attempting to get into a discussion about what happened to her successor.

Would like to deal with your whole comment?
The IRA bombed the conference and kept on bombing people till Britain started talking to them, then when the talks were not going their way they bombed some more to get the talks moving again.
every time a ceasefire was announced it wasn't the union flag or the red hand of ulster the celebratory crowds out on the streets were waving was it.
So what happened after that? now we have Unionist on the streets shooting at and bombing British police because......the fenians lost a vote on flags
I had the misfortune today to be stuck with a hardcore fenian idiot for nearly 2 hours at work this morning.
His appraisal of Thatcher as Prime Minister. "the best thing the Brits did for the IRA since Bloody Sunday"

However, does the obvious excuse or justify those of us, and i use the term 'us' as in people in general, who take it upon themselves to show delight, jubilation, cheerful expressions, mocking and all sorts of generally-happy attitudes and taking great pleasure by showing those actions at the death of her?

With a figure as devisive as her there can only be one expected outcome on the announcement of her demise.
Though I was surprised the Daily Telegraph had to shut down its comments page due to the sheer volume of celebratory posts.
I think the sad legacy of Maggie is that those things which she held the strongest views on preserving or building are the things which untimately she set in chain the destruction of through her short sighted ideologicly driven passion.
Edit to add.
BTW. your comments on Liverpool, for a new perspective on her "cut funding" idea might I suggest reading her cabinet papers which were released to the public in January. Genuinely crazy ideas she had.
