Hi to all, just a reminder that Thatcher specifically fucked Wales in ways that it still hasn’t recovered from, and it’s deeply ignorant to only consider her cultural impact on England and fail to take into account the very real anti-Welsh sentiment which underpinned so much of her economic policy, and the only reason not to piss on Thatcher’s grave is the very real concern that it might put out the fires in which she’s currently burning in Hell.

I have been reliably informed by an Englishman who was a Master’s student in Theology at Cardiff University during the end of Thatcher’s era that she was ‘intelligent, organised and competent,’ which I’m sure comes as an enormously soothing balm to the 1 in 7 Welsh people who lost their jobs, the 1 in 3 people who worked in manufacturing who became unemployed, the people who were made homeless in the wake of her housing policies (the number of homeless people in Wales doubled between 1979-1990 as a result of Thatcher selling off 80,000 council houses and slashing public spending on social welfare), the 22,000 miners who lost their jobs, and everyone in South Wales who lived in mining towns which had been built around an industry which was decimated without any thought paid to their infrastructure or economy.

Still, Bob says that she was competent, and he should know because he studied Theology in Cardiff for 8 months of the year in 1990, so.
