The folks over at European Tribune have posted some poignant memories of former PM Margaret Thatcher’s political career. Funny, my recollections of the Madness of Saint Ronnie are quite similar.
A sample from Helen:

Sound familiar?
Found this circulating while on Tumblr:

Revenge of the Reds – Resources on why Thatcher was the worst of the worst.
A most amusing thread. Particularly liked the reports on the crashed BBC and Telegraph comment threads as those two news orgs attempted to rewrite the history of that vile woman.
Wicked! That’s what she was and proud of it, too.
Richard Seymour (of the blog Lenin’s Tomb) has a few thoughts in Margaret Thatcher: An Obituary from Below.

She should have died in prison…
Instead, she died at The Ritz. Unfuckingbelievable.
