Margaret Thatcher getting cooked during her funeral. "Don't you think she did any good?" "Not a bit of good, not a bit. I'd put a stake through her heart and a garlic around her neck to make sure she never came back."

There are once prosperous areas in north east England which even now look like desolate bomb sites, thanks to her. As a Middlesborough foundry manager once said to me, "there be free drinks in our club when that b*tch passes."

I have never seen this clip before. Wish I had. It is so true, Thatcher has made Britain what it is today. We should have a sovereign wealth fund from the North Sea, and be the richest nation in the EU. She sold off the china for votes. Such is the nature of every Tory.

Too bad Tony Blair continued Thatcher's legacy, precisely as Henry Kissinger predicted she would. This is also what happened in the U.S. when Bill Clinton became President - he pursued the general policies of Ronald Reagan.

I literally had to move away from my extended to family to a different part of the country as a child. My Friends dad went from being a steel shop Union leader to unemployed had a nervous breakdown and drank himself to death. Some of us didn’t have your privilege to avoid her policy’s.

Well said that woman 👏. No point in pussyfooting around just because she’s dead, thatcher was a monster & what she did has led to many of the ills we’re suffering now

Yep, I agree 100%. And, yes. I was alive throughout that terrible time (I’m in my 70s). She is directly responsible for the current rise of the neo-nazis in today’s excuse for politics! I often say - the only thing I will never forgive the IRA for, was missing her in Brighton! #BurnInHell

What a heroine for speaking her mind. Understand she has since passed away, hope she’s at total peace. ☮️. Unlike Thatcher, evil old witch. 👿

She’s not wrong. Thatcher focused on building a financial powerhouse in London that would trickle northwards. She destroyed communities & used the police as a political instrument. Best thing she did .. was die.

Uk has never recovered it has just gone downhill. That’s what happens when you sell out the countries assets & industries to save a buck .. those who lost their jobs still had to Live so claimed unemployment . What was the point ?

To make people with capital who wanted to buy state assets very rich. Milton Friedman the guy behind Neoliberalism was her economic idol according to some texts. He supported Pinochet coup by coming up with a plan their to privatise public assets.

Right … I live in Australia born in UK & watched from a far . My family still in UK .The ship building , steel works , mines & all those attached industries destroyed ..but again conservative .. House of Lords vs people power ..UK needs this Green revolution to at least take some people power back

I was child during the miners strike in Yorkshire, my dad had to move to support his young family. The area never recovered, I moved to the Northeast to see it repeated through nearly every industry sold to private capital, as your average working class family knew nothing about shares.

Too many people have conveniently forgotten that she destroyed the lives of millions of people, and then left them to rot in neglected towns and villages up and down the country. Generations of people are still picking up the tab for her callous ignorance and greed.

I turned my back on her funeral cortège and suddenly developed a policewoman in front of me. She even yelled, 'Gawd bless 'er.' as if we were in a film and any of the fancy dress guests cared...

The Scottish were particularly aggrieved as Thatcher used them as guinea pigs for her very unpopular poll tax. Introducing it in 1989 a full year before imposing it on everyone else. Also their oil was effectively sold off as BP and Britoil were privatised.
