     @br00t4c The hot take editorials by the Brits are annoying. Whatever her faults, and there were very many, Thatcher was not a raging buffoon and cared for her country, was a pathbreaker for women in politics at the time she first stood as MP (even though she lost) and *BIG* difference NOT a convicted megalomaniac criminal.

     I don't like her policies or her influence and I can't believe I'm standing up for her but OMFG It's absolutely not the same.
