Good morning and a very happy Thatcher Day to you all!

@bodil yeah, I mean don't get me wrong I disagree with pretty much everything Thatcher stood for, but at least she did stand for something, and quite probably believed she was ‘doing the right thing’ even as it needlessly shattered community after community for generations.
These others? It's all just greed and grift.

@bodil Are we sure she's still dead? Wouldn't put it past that monster, let's go make sure that corpse is still in the ground. 🤭
I wish USians had the sense to celebrate similarly when Reagan finally kicked the bucket. Maybe we should start celebrating?
@JoscelynTransient @bodil You mean she might be out there somewhere still rocking with Elvis?

I often wonder who's been worse for the UK overall, Thatcher or the parade of self serving kleptocrats of more recent years. Farage and Johnson caused untold damage between them, and Farage may yet cause much more, but, honestly, they're just natural byproducts of Thatcher's project. She was the root cause, and all these sneering clowns who followed her are just minor characters in her play. She may be dead but the wounds she left us still bleed.
Let's make today the day when we grab a stake and check on her grave, just to be sure.
Always two there are: a master and an apprentice.

Good morning and a very happy Thatcher Day to you all! It's been 13 years today and she's still dead.
@bodil Thatcher might be dead, but her malign influence is not

@bodil My Dad, who is definitely not a fan, said he respected Thatcher because she stood for what she believed in. Most of the rest since have stood for whatever the Sun and the Mail have on their front page (and more recently, whatever people complain about on Facebook or Twitter)

"Well I was there and I will not forget
The fight for history begins the day that Thatcher is dead" -
@bodil I've learned so much revised *real* history from you lot, directly, than I ever learned from MSM. We just knew she was a leader. We did not know how hated she was.
We utterly detested her. The first female PM this country got and it had to be a nasty one.

@jonpsp It's the ones with a vision you really need to watch out for.

@grb090423 @kimlockhartga The first, and the second, and, uh, I still don't know what to make of Liz Truss.

@bodil
Celebrating a person losing power is fine.
Celebrating a person is dead is 🤮 and stupid. -
@viraptor @ainmosni @bodil Nope, start with #Goldwater, the one who wanted to succeed #Eisenhower who was the last decent Republican
president. And continue with #Nixon. -
