The epitomy of a cuckservative woman.

They really don't. Both Blair and Brown admired her towards the end of their career. New Old Labour love her because they're fucking socialists. She didn't go far enough in some areas and didn't have an intelligent monetary policy, (if only because she didn't have subservient Chancellors), but it's one of the few times in history that somebody on a fringe of a right-wing party was democratically made the head of government.

wow you are totally clueless

Not an argument.

There are legit reasons to dislike Thatcher: Right to Buy is good or bad for different people, and she took us into Europe wholesale.

She did eventually come to realise the great danger of the European project, which is why she was axed by the rest of the "Conservative" party.

However most of the hate to Thatcher comes from the North and Working Class, she continued policies from the 60s Labour government and basically the closure of a lot of mines and similar industry in the North led to huge amounts of unemployment.

It wasn't such a big deal in the 60s because the industry in general was still quite strong, and the economy was good, so when people lost their jobs they could find similar work or work in another industry quite easily. In the 70s however things were a lot worse so people couldn't walk from one job to another, and so all the North remembers Thatcher for is "muh mines"

Overall she was one of the better PMs, atleast of the last 100 years. She might not be a perfect conservative, but no candidate is really. The days of Toryism are long over and they aren't coming back, "Conservatism" is what we have left. Neocons took that over after getting rid of Thatcher and now British politics in general is just the domain of the Neocon Blairite.

>and she took us into Europe wholesale.
Firstly, the EU was clearly something very different back then, which is why the Tories supported it. Secondly, she was one of the biggest Euroskeptics in her party and opposed the creation of the Euro. What do you mean by this?

Like I said, once she realised the danger of the Europeanists and their agenda, she wanted to deal with it, which is why the Conservatives got rid of her.

In the 70s and early 80s however she was quite pro-european.

Brit leftists hate her because she shut down the mines

>why does everyone hate her?

They don't.
