Aha, ah. Where to begin.

So if you google her, you’d find out she was the first female Prime Minister in the UK from 1979 to 1990, which for some reason has translated into her being a GirlBoss™ figure in the United States.

This is perhaps fitting because she was the epitome of Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss, and an overall fucking vile human being that led to “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” reaching #2 in the UK charts following her death and people throwing street parties like the end of WW2.

Much like Regan’s grave is a gender-neutral bathroom, so too is the grave of Maggie “Milk Snatcher” Thatcher–and if you’re wondering how she got that name, she was instrumental in ending the “free milk for schoolchildren” program for children over the age of seven, which was rolled out in the 1920s to combat childhood malnutrition in impoverished areas.

She also paved the way for the downfall of industry and manufacturing in the UK, the Poll Tax, started the process for the privatization of the NHS, and basically caused an economic downturn which is still being felt in many of the impoverished areas of the UK today and indirectly enabled the current austerity measures in the UK which have killed millions of disabled and vulnerable people.

This doesn’t even touch on things like the 1981 Irish Hunger Strike, Section 28 and the renowned Miners and Newspaper Printers strikes that led to some of the most desperate impoverishment not seen since the second world war and a whole other slew of crimes against moral decency and humanity that resulted in commentary like this on the BBC before she’d even died:

“It’ll be the first time the 21 gun salute shoots the coffin.”

“For three million, they could give everyone in Scotland and shovel, and we would dig a hole so deep that we could hand her over to Satan personally.”

So, yeah.

🦀🦀🦀Happy anniversary of Margaret Thatcher’s Death.🦀🦀🦀

May her soul reap what she sowed in life and never know peace.
