She stopped free school milk and increased the amount of air in ice cream.

I hated school milk and quite like a 99 with a flake on a hot summer day, but then she turned evil.

 

[T & P]

She was also best pals with Pinochet, a man who among a wide range of other human rights abuses, had female political prisoners raped by specially-trained dogs.

 

[Idris2002]

After Bob's massacres in Matabeleland, she was asked a straight question in parliament - would she still continue to support him? Her straight answer was - an emphatic yes.

Friends in low places.

And among those other things was a penchant for pushing trade unionists out of helicopters without a parachute. Thatcher knew this. Thatcher supported this. No death is long enough for her. Shame it wasn't more painful.

I am genuinely shocked by this. I hadn't heard of this dreadful sexual torture. There's some people for whom evil is not sufficiently a description.

She was, however, also a good Comrade of the great Romanian Conductor.

She wasn't the only British fan of the Genius of the Carpathians, David Steel gave him a labrador. I suppose the Romanians should be grateful that he didn't give him Cyril Smith; and the labrador should be grateful that he didn't suffer the fate of Rinka.

Work is under way in Grantham to destroy the memorial to commemorate Grantham’s most famous daughter, Margaret Thatcher.

Hehe. how much time does everybody give it before something more damaging happens to it?



E2a it seems the tweet has been taken down, for the record it was a guy throwing eggs at the statue. Maybe the person who tweeted it though better of it. You could only see the back of the man but there was at least one reply asking suspicious questions. Claiming to be someone from a local radio show and asking permission to use it but asking what time it was shot.

Hopefully Ukraine will have some drones left over.

Looks like it's less than 100 meters from the nearest place with milkshakes to the statue's spot near the museum.

As there are no harbours near, how far is it to the nearest sewage works?

Fenland's full of drainage ditches surely.

Grantham: Margaret Thatcher statue lowered into place

The statue is targeted shortly after being installed in Baroness Thatcher's home town of Grantham.

Mines, destruction of industry generally, poll tax, section 28, ending the building of council houses, running everything public into the ground. All done without even a hint of compassion.

You’re in Leeds, surely you can remember how bad it had got there for crime by the mid-90s, burglary, addiction, burnt out cars on every available bit of green space. They abandoned us. It’s not forgotten.

Somebody from Leeds isn't entirely sure why Thatcher is despised? Have they been living in an hermetically sealed pod or something?

Edie isn’t from Leeds and wasn’t living there under Thatcherism.

Long way from Grantham to the nearest harbour.

Nearest is probably Lincoln. There's a basin outside the uni. Perhaps the students could be persuaded to help.

Fenland's full of drainage ditches surely.

Grantham is a long way from the fenlands. Newark, and the Trent are nearby which is a possible alternative to Lincoln.
