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

Good morning and a very happy Thatcher Day to you all! It's been 13 years today and she's still dead.

[jnfrd@berlin.social]

@bodil well. There we go. There is at least one thing that isn’t bad.

[bodil@social.treehouse.systems]

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.

@bodil @otfrom I still love that I found out because someone posted "The Witch Is Dead" on the social playlist site I was using, and nobody needed any context.

@craignicol @otfrom The Wizard of Oz got a lot of playtime that day.

[craignicol@glasgow.social]

@bodil @otfrom she's been out of power for 35 years but we still live in Thatcher's Britain. Labour had a chance to stem the bleeding, but they elected Blair instead

@bodil @otfrom true. I responded with this one though

@bodil So much bad shit really started with Reagan and Thatcher...

[bodil@social.treehouse.systems]

@ainmosni All the bad shit, really.

[ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu]

@bodil Well, much of it was scattered around before, they packaged it all up, made it more effective, and modernised it.

@bodil@social.treehouse.systems this is how national holidays get born I imagine

@bodil Can't blame the evil kankerous mud slut shit stain for the entire Tory party or the members of the UK public fucking stupid enough to vote them in. Be fair.

[bodil@social.treehouse.systems]

@megatronicthronbanks We can blame her for everything.

@bodil Oh they did manage to have genocide, Jim Crow and nuking the shit out of places all without Reagan. To name just a few, in case anyone was wondering whether the Other Capitalist Party was better. #notallshit

@bodil Sadly neo-liberalism lives on.

[leoschuldiner23@beige.party]
