It's so funny how hated this woman still is, keep it going brits lmao

I'm not super well versed in British politics but isn't she basically the British Ronald Regan?

And if you're not familiar with Reagan, let's just say I hope Trump gets buried next to him so I can piss on both their graves at the same time.

[-] Rayspekt@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Haha, I didn't know that it's as bad with Reagan as Thatcher!

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 27 points 10 months ago

She went to war with unions and the working class. Destroyed workers rights, used the police to antagonise and dismantle strikes, left towns and cities in economic decline. She screwed a LOT of people. Many hate her here.

Don't forget about privatising British Rail, turning one of the best rail systems in the world into complete shambles

Iirc Reagan did that with prisons

Before I say anything else I’ll make it clear I think the for profit prison system is one of the worst atrocities modern humans are responsible for, but…

Whether it works depends entirely on which end you’re on. The owners would say it’s not in shambles at all but working exactly as intended.

Yeah I suppose you're right,
The intent is literal slave labor, and they got that down pretty well.

[-] Rayspekt@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I meant the part about Reagan, not Thatcher.

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Oh yeah, I see now. I misread that.
