Perhaps so. She had her faults and her virtues in her time in office - like most. But what are we to make of a normally intelligent regular poster on this forum, a stalwart of a fine period of the folk revival, who goes on & on around these threads about how his happiest memory is of seeing her on tv weeping as she left Downing Street after being backstabbed by her own? Or of an apparently in general not particularly abnormal person, whom you can hear practically creaming his underpants in unbridled joy as he writes of overhearing a drunken ranter in a pub fantasising about desecrating her corpse after she dies? Isn't all this, honest now, a bit pathetic?

"Where now Thatcher haters?" indeed. Good question. To which "Up their own unpleasant anuses" seems to me to be a possible answer.
