Margaret Thatcher statue egged within hours of it being installed

  1. >“It is, therefore, appropriate that she is commemorated by her home town, and that the debate that surrounds her legacy takes place here in Grantham. We must never hide from our history, and this memorial will be a talking point for generations to come.”

    This is utter bullshit. If I ever get to visit Grantham this statue is getting TP-d.

  2. There is a weird thing in the British near-mainstream left where Mao, Lenin and Stalin are uncontroversially admired and people like Thatcher and Tony Blair are uncontroversially evil.

  3. Just the usual rabble who’ve been indoctrinated by some lefty teachers. I doubt they were even alive during Thatcher, or affected by her policies in their middle class areas they come from.

  4. Good. She was one of the most destructive politicians of modern times, along with Reagan. They should not be celebrated but taught as the creators of neoliberalism.

  5. I don’t like it, or her, but i’m fed up of lawlessness being ‘Ok’ed’ when it suits. I’d like to see large petititons to have it taken down yes, because i despise the tories and their foul mixture of malice and incompetence, but not savagery on the streets, i’m sick of this kind of chaotic behaviour.

  6. I will never understand the sheer hate that people feel for her. I can get some dislike, she was a conservative, but this just looks irrational.
