I was gonna be like "Oh she's so based and correct all the time" to whatever rando bsky user posted this, but then I was like "Oh shit, it's you!" Good takes, great and condensed prose, understandable by anyone. cheers!

She introduced Neoliberalism (with Reagan), a system still in place today. She carried a copy of Hayek's "Road to Serfdom" in her handbag.

You have a lot to say and you seem genuinely very bright so, serious question: how's your Lexit working out?? Do you think the UK is better off outside the EU, #Brexit??

Thatcher is the worst PM we have ever had. I fear the damage that she did to the country's economy by selling off our assets will never be reversed.

@ala8.bsky.social · Feb 13

No compassion with Thatcherism, she put 3 million on the dole and left a country divided between the have and have nots, bloody nightmare under her rule

Well said!

Concise summation as to why we're in this position. It was horrid under Thatcher. Most of my peers were jobless, or on low paid jobs, YTS etc.

Hear hear well summarised .

Thatcherism is very similar to Reaganism in the U.S. Much of what is said in this about the UK also can be applied to the U.S. as well.

Thatcher was a self-serving evil bitch who courted the likes of Pinochet. Knifed by her own party. And do not forget her idiot son Mark Thatcher: who in 2005 was convicted and given a four-year suspended prison sentence and fined in South Africa for funding the 2004 Equatorial Guinea coup attempt.

This is so true. Many have the uncomfortable feeling that they are not part of an insider group. The rush to define outsiders we're against, even though they are part of society, is because we know we are weak as individuals, and we desperately want to be part of a group with power.

TLDR News put out a great video about looking at debt through the lens of state assets as opposed to GDP. This is nonstandard way of looking at things, but absolutely shows the extent of damage that libertarianism did to the UK. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6Xw...

She did break Britain. How are you using your public profile to debunk her "there's no such as public money, there's only taxpayers money" bullshit?

Great job yesterday

Agreed except #tonyblair could have stopped thatcherism - but he accelerated it. @uklabour.bsky.social

What you're saying is... Everyone would rather have Gareth Southgate creating a collective team, rather Sven Goran Eriksson and a bunch over inflated egos.

She didn't half talk a load of shite! 🤪

She achieved her goal ultimately - the result of almost half a century of competiting with each other has led to the losers being poorer than any time since WW2, and the winners to be the wealthiest people there have ever been.
