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.
God damn it, did you create the Torment Nexus?
I wonder if they keep the toilet part of her grave separate from the dance floor 🤔
Better hope there were no cameras or else urine trouble.
Yeah yeah thatcher's grave, we've all peed there
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)
It would be easier to list the things she didn’t do.
Long and short, screwed over a lot of minorities, oversaw a lot of violent conflicts, and reshaped the UK economy and government to benefit the financial sector and ultra wealthy at the expense of everyone else.
British Ronald Reagan
He got his playbook from her, I believe.
i don't know this person either
It's multifaceted, but I can mention one of the things she messed up: She made council houses a commodity^[1], and now everyone is paying the price because nobody can afford to buy their own home because said council houses have been taken over by greedy landlords that keep the rent so high that nobody can afford to save up for a house of their own.
What she did was the equivalent of pissing in your trousers to keep warm..
Council houses used to be the affordable stepping stone before you saved enough money for your own place.
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
It got into the top ten music charts too iirc - and the bbc refused to play it on the chart countdown.
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.
Yes, but it took her incredibly long and she didn't accept any help
Over saw Section 28.
She also destroyed communities by destroying unions associated with mining and steel works.
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.
She was against german reunification at the time and was deeply suspicious about Germany and their people and politicians.
Typical right-wing bullshit.
Even as a yank, I love this.
Fuck you Maggie. Rot in hell.
Obligatory

Why is the white bar of the trans flag green?
It's also a pH strip?
That’s both hilarious and pretty much accurate to what color a pH strip would turn if the average person urinated on it, for anyone was wondering.
Ahh this is what i recommended under someone elses post a few weeks ago
Did she do any LGBTQ policies or even expressed any LGBTQ related opinions?
She famously banned the concept of gay people from schools https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_28
Well, I didn't even know that transgender people existed until my 20's because of her. Also 'gay' was the most common insult throughout my childhood.
I never heard “gay” as an insult until I moved when I was 12, then I heard it a lot from the kids in my new school, always thought it was fucked up, and didn’t like the kids who were saying it.
It was 100% normal for me - we were all using it at a young age (or local insults meaning the same) without really even knowing what it meant. I don't think I realised that gay people really existed until I was a teenager.
Doesn't matter, it's thatcher
