Yeah yeah thatcher’s grave, we’ve all peed there
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
It seems pretty mild to me to deserve pee related protest.
Doesn’t matter, it’s thatcher
Why is the white bar of the trans flag green?
It’s also a pH strip?
Obligatory
“I’d put a stake through her heart and garlic round her neck to make sure she’d never come back”
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)
Fucked up unions, fucked up the workers, fucked up villages, fucked up the Queer community, war crimes, tax breaks for the rich, pricatised core infrastructure, tried to fuck up the EU…
She was against german reunification at the time and was deeply suspicious about Germany and their people and politicians.
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.
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.
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.
Typical right-wing bullshit.
British Ronald Reagan
i don’t know this person either
He got his playbook from her, I believe.
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.
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.
They vote against their interests but not against their emotions. People hate her now, for good reason. The people voting for her then, clearly didn’t hate her.
I don’t know how UK elections for prime minister work, but experience and history have shown me that people can be fucking stupid and elect the worst option available, no matter the country.
Agreed. They don’t necessarily vote for the better candidate, they vote for their favorite candidate.
Also, due to the power of wealth and mass media ownership, the most famous candidates (and therefore the only ones with a realistic chance of election) are consistently garbage.
Over saw Section 28.
She also destroyed communities by destroying unions associated with mining and steel works.
Mrs Thatcher Milk Snatcher.
Imagine a boot stomping on Thatcher’s face.
I’m not making a point, it just makes me happy to think about it
Is it for eternity?
Only for the year 1984
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.
Ahh this is what i recommended under someone elses post a few weeks ago
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?
