Margaret Thatcher's children deserve our sympathies at her death but there are no tears for Thatcherism
She was a Prime Minister who split Britain down the middle
and the country will never unite in mourning. I shed no crocodile tears
for her nasty politics
One united the country in grief and the other divided the nation in death as she did in life.
The establishment is wrong to award a Princess Diana funeral to Margaret Thatcher.
She was a Prime Minister who split Britain down the middle and the country will never unite in mourning.
I shed no crocodile tears for the nasty politics of Thatcher.
I regret the death of an elderly lady and two children have lost a mother.
But I remember the indifferent cruelty of the Iron Lady in her Tory pomp.
She ruined lives in pursuit of a poisonous right-wing ideology.
She destroyed communities to unleash destructive wild west Thatchernomics.
She deindustrialised the country, the Big Bang in the City of London unleashing greed which erupted into the 2008 banking collapse.
So I shall be honest instead of conforming to establishment pressure to praise not appraise.
Because the cult of Thatcher created a Maggie myth.
She divided not united, destroying rather than rebuilding. Yuppies and City spivs grew rich as inequality exploded.
Those who refused to bend the knee were ruthlessly crushed.
Finance was the future, smokestack industries dismissed as the past.
Shipbuilding, steel and coal were sacrificed on the altar of Thatcherism.
The 1984-85 pit strike for jobs ended in victory for her. And a terrible defeat for villages and towns now plagued by despair, joblessness and drugs.
Never forget, never forgive.
