While many clueless young people around the world were asking “Who is Margaret Thatcher?,” One Direction pop star Harry Styles was thankfully not one them.
His fans, alas, are another story.

"RT @xostylesgirlxo: @Harry_Styles i am sorry 🙁 but who was this person?"Sadly, some of Harry's fans were confused by his Thatcher tribute

Marget Thatcher died and you tweet @harry_styles asking who it is when he says R.I.P? She was in charge of our country people!

Then there were the 1D’ers who can’t tolerate a pop star showing decency to a great world leader. In response to his civil condolences, they’ve unfollowed or threatened to unfollow him.
"@Harry_Styles: RIP Baroness Thatcher .x" I followed Harry just so I could unfollow him for this! Bound to lose at least 1-2m followers
