Thatcherism was the cause of the Hatfield rail crash of 2000.
As much as I'm a fan of being quoted out of context by people who insist that they are ignoring me, it's not anti-American to say unless you were there you wouldn't get it.
When I was little, beggers were something you found in the Bible or in Dickens not something you found on the streets of almost every town and city.
When we went to school trips it was the most immediately shocking aspect of the trip to see these 'mythical' beings. From 1979 onwards they started appearing everywhere as the Thatcher sold off the housing that would have put a roof over their heads and closed down the industries that would have given them a job.
She took advantage of the greed of some of the trade union barons and used it as excuse to sell off the fabric of British society and took delight at victimising the people who never vote for her.
She turned a country that made things into a call centre and then moved the call centre to India.
When she came to power unemployment had risen to the then astonishing level of 5% at the peak of her reign it was 12%.
It's not a derailment to fix the false image that people have the woman. When you remember the dead you are doing a disservice to the good by giving glowing praise to evil people just because they aren't alive any more.
As for her grandchildren they are now living in America and preaching her mantra so stuff them too.
