      She Ronald Reagened the UK she usher in the privatization of public services. She believed sacrificing social good for economic gains and she was a bit of a dick and unapologetic the whole time

      “I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand “I have a problem, it is the Government’s job to cope with it!” or “I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!” “I am homeless, the Government must house me!” and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations.” -Margaret Thatcher

        As much as we all want to feed Thatcher to our dogs, I don’t think that’s the moral thing to do. They deserve better.

        It’s a good thing she replaced them with nuclear plants and windmill generators! Otherwise you’re just outsourcing your pollution.

      I’m sorry, buddy, but I’ve been on the internet long enough to know that if you did seriously ask, you would get at least one serious response from someone with a probably much wilder browser history than you.

      Like, arguably, the Thatcher thing is more insane because who the fuck liked that old cunt?
