Teachers’ role in organising Thatcher ‘death parties’ through Facebook singled out

Two teachers have been identified as being some of the key masterminds behind a series of unseemly ‘death parties’

Dubbing the pair ‘teachers of hatred’ the Daily Mail highlights their role in teaching special needs and vulnerable youngsters during the day whilst organising distasteful extra-curricular activities by night.

Craig Parr, a special needs teacher at Labour leader Ed Milliband’s old school, Haverstock, and Romany Blythe, a drama teacher from Brighton were pictured chanting ‘Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, dead, dead, dead’ whilst soliciting others to take to the streets

Blythe, a militant left winger, set up a Facebook page called ‘The Witch is Dead’ which attracted over 5,000 critics who answered her call to ‘p*** on her grave’ of the former Prime Minister.

Such behaviour was dubbed unacceptable by MPs with Douglas Carswell, Tory MP for Clacton in Essex, saying: “We must not have teachers working in schools with young people at the public’s expense who think it’s acceptable to behave like this. Such behaviour is wrong.”

Carr, an NUT member, has already resigned his position for an unrelated matter after concerns were raised about his conduct but remains an employee of the school until the end of the month.
