Sandwell councillor Steven Frear wrote the post alongside a link to the BBC story on the death of the former Prime Minister.
Within minutes of his post there was a flurry of angry responses to what the Bristnall ward councillor had written. He later issued an apology on the site.
Even after the post was removed, debate raged on his Facebook page, with some suggesting the councillor should stand down after his comments.
