That's a shame, if we could find a way to make her corpse feel pain that would be great.
Someone should resurrect her soul (from hell) and stick it in the torment nexus.
Even as a yank, I love this.
Fuck you Maggie. Rot in hell.
what did she do? i dont follow other countries politics (unless its literally thrown in my face every time a president does something stupid like what's happening in the US)
She was a pretty hated British Prime Minister during the 1980s. When she died in 2013, people celebrated with the music "Ding dong, the witch is dead!" - Here's one such video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hvccEpOFhc
There are plenty of reasons to hate her but she was the longest serving UK PM ever. She couldn’t have been that hated if they kept re-electing her
People vote against their interests all the time. And it screws everyone over.
The "greed is good" bullshit hoodwinked a lot of people.
Over saw Section 28.
She also destroyed communities by destroying unions associated with mining and steel works.
Typical right-wing bullshit.
You get different answers depending on who you ask. Of course, those on the left despise her for good reasons, which others have already mentioned.
Then on the one hand, there is argument to be made that her deregulation did save UK from bankruptcy at the time of financial turmoil catalysed by the 1970s oil crisis. The deregulation, of course, made her a darling among the right because it also made businesses more flexible.
Another bit to note is that, whether you are left or right, it is undeniable she handled the Falklands War impressively. That is commendable regardless of one's political leaning.
damn, a politically impartial comment is rare here, thanks for giving out more info!
I personally loathe Thatcher, but one has to give credit to where it's due.
British Ronald Reagan
Fucked up unions, fucked up the workers, fucked up villages, fucked up the Queer community, war crimes, tax breaks for the rich, privatised core infrastructure, tried to fuck up the EU...
she did do one good thing though
she died
30 fckn years too late. No accolades for that.
Why is the white bar of the trans flag green?
It's also a pH strip?
