You might want to read up on some of the things she did whilst in power.
Supported the Pinochet regime for starters, as well as the behind the scenes behaviour in the miners strike. Right to buy leading to a shortage of council houses which persists to this day, etc. etc.
But no, people saying mean things is the REAL problem.

I know what she did
compared to say, Tony Blair, in terms of foreign policy she was a saint

nice straw man
> Right to buy leading to a shortage of council houses which persists to this day, etc. etc.
it's not as if we've had 10 or so subsequent governments that could have abolished right to buy, is it?
quite why some adult's behaviour becomes worse than average 12 year old playing xbox every time Margaret Thatcher is mentioned I really don't understand
(I know why really... it's the the ultimate virtue signal for the tolerant left)
Abolishing right to buy once it had happened was bolting the stable door after the horse had bolted. The council housing stock was already gone.
And we're not talking about her foreign policy per se (Pinochet excluded) but the toll she, and the party, inflicted on a large proportion of the population.
LGBTQ+ people in particular were affected by Section 28.
But no, you've glibly responded to what is obviously a retelling of an OLD joke to paint anyone left of her as evil, adding nothing at all to the conversation other than more political point scoring.

the next 32 years of governments were more than capable of building more
they fact they didn't... is Thatcher's fault?
