(Before It's News)

A four-year-old boy, named as Jack, shouted ‘Thatcher’s dead!’ with his father as people gathered in Trafalgar Square yesterday to celebrate the death of Margaret Thatcher

A four-year-old boy yelled ‘Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead!’ to cheers from the hundreds of people who celebrated the death of Baroness Thatcher in London’s Trafalgar Square yesterday.

The boy, named Jack, also yelled: ‘Thatcher’s dead!’ with his father, who gave his name as Howard.

‘I don’t see it as brainwashing,’ Howard, from Islington, north London, told the Sunday Express.

‘It is just learnt behaviour.’

Crowds gathered to protest against Baroness Thatcher’s legacy and mark her death with a party.

Union members from across the UK who had fierce battles with Lady Thatcher in the 1980s rubbed shoulders with those demonstrating against today’s welfare cuts.

Old and young turned out last night to mark the former prime minister’s death in a ‘celebration’ that was many years in the planning.

Protesters clutched on to their umbrellas as they ‘celebrated’ the death of Baroness Thatcher by drinking alcohol in the square and chanting ‘Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead!’, according to reports.

As an effigy of the former Prime Minister made its way down the stairs in front of the National Gallery, the crowd chanted ‘Maggie! Maggie! Maggie! Dead! Dead! Dead!’ and sang lyrics from the Wizard of Oz song.

Despite the depth of feeling and a large police presence there was no serious trouble and few arrests.
