Hatred: Sergeant Jeremy Scott said he hoped the former prime minister's death at the age of 87 was 'painful and degrading' - and has quit today
A serving police officer has resigned after being unmasked as a leading figure in the sick hate campaign against Baroness Thatcher, having issued a litany of offensive messages over the internet.
Sergeant Jeremy Scott said he hoped the former prime minister’s death at the age of 87 was ‘painful and degrading’.
The 52-year-old Scotland Yard officer also suggested the world would be a ‘better place’ if David Cameron, too, were dead.
Scotland Yard said today: 'The officer concerned, today submitted his resignation and it was accepted with immediate effect.'
Met Commander Allan Gibson added: 'This officer's behaviour was completely unacceptable and it is right that he has resigned.'
Meanwhile today another public figure, a Labour Party official, was also in hot water for saying Tony Blair should be buried in the same coffin as Mrs Thatcher.
Writing on Twitter, Sgt Scott questioned whether a flypast would ‘bomb’ Lady Thatcher’s coffin and said her passing was ‘87 years too late’.
He said: ‘Goodnight Twitter. The world is a better place today now that c*** is dead. Now for Cameron, May and Osborne.’
The comments of the police officer, sworn to uphold the law, mark a new low in the bitter hate campaign ahead of Lady Thatcher’s funeral.
Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe had been under growing pressure to suspend the officer last night, but it appears Scott quit before he was sacked.
Tory MP Iain Stewart, who represents Sgt Scott’s constituency of Milton Keynes South, said he was ‘absolutely disgusted’ by the comments.
He said: ‘I will be writing to Sir Bernard and asking him to investigate this further.’
The Met has shown no mercy to other staff caught abusing social networking sites, with seven sacked in the past five years. A further eight resigned or retired after complaints.
A spokesman said: ‘We are aware of comments made by a serving officer on a social networking site. The officer reported this matter to the Directorate of Professional Standards. We are now looking at this. He has not been suspended

Sgt Scott, who earns up to £45,000 in a back office role, sparked an internal inquiry when he contacted senior officers within hours of being confronted by the Daily Mail.
However, asked at his £300,000 home in Milton Keynes if he regretted his comments, he did not apologise. Instead he said: ‘I have about as much remorse as she did.’
A Mail investigation identified Sgt Scott as being responsible for an outspoken anonymous Twitter account called ‘ThinBlueSpeck’.

He used the site to fuel dissent against government reforms of the police service and criticise his superiors.
He advertised his comments as mainly about ‘punk, sex, bad politics and good policing’, adding they are ‘very sweary at times so be ****ing warned’.
A short time after the announcement of Lady Thatcher’s death, he commented: ‘I hope it was painful and degrading’ before labelling her the ‘architect of the hole that is Britain today’.

After lawless outbursts across Britain, the next day he wrote: ‘Marvellous stuff! Margaret Thatcher’s death greeted with street parties in Brixton and Glasgow.’
He later added: ‘Not sure why we should show respect for someone who showed utter contempt for the vast majority of this country.’

He signed off that message with the word ‘dingdong’, a reference to the campaign to make the song Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead number one in the music charts.
In a further disturbing twist, we can reveal that Sgt Scott is also responsible for a second Twitter account called ‘GovernmentThug’. On it, he described himself as a ‘pleb and proud’ – a reference to the Andrew Mitchell affair.
In one series of messages about Home Secretary Theresa May, he described strangling her, digging out her heart with a dagger and sexually assaulting her.
