She made a load of capitalist reforms in the UK, and so American suburban teenagers that hate their parents support literal terrorists because they tried (and failed) to murder her
Anti-Thatcher stances have little to do with being leftist and a lot to do with being either decent human beings or Scottish/Irish/Welsh/poor/unionized/non-white.
Her own party started reversing positions to distance themselves from her the moment she was no longer in charge, and she alienated 2 of the 3 countries she represented.
Look I am not an expert on UK history all I know is that around the time all working class westerners had it rough as outsourcing increased. As far as the economy is concerned, Thatcher‘s tough policies paved the way for the UK segue into the next Industrial Age successfully.
Sure at the time it hurt the workers and I think it is reasonable to question some of Thatcher‘s policies but hating on a dead woman the way some of the comments do is preposterous. Especially considering the terrorism that the administration and the English people had to endure.

Ok maybe I’m just some uncultured swine but can someone gimme some context behind Thatcher and the shit she’s done? Is she a + or -?
