The religious and spiritual amongst us believe those that have done good on Earth will go to heaven and those that have done bad or evil shall be sent to hell. This being the case it can only be assumed the late Margaret Thatcher now dwells within a firey grave.
At a time when people are remembering Margaret Thatcher,
Torbay Fightback feels we should remember those that have died or suffered
as a result of Thatcherite policies.
These include:
- Those who died in a war that could have been avoided in the Falkland Islands.
- Those who committed suicide or suffered mental breakdowns or stress as a result of her economic policies which caused massive unemployment.
- Those that have suffered through the effects of gang related violence, drug or alcohol abuse as a result of her destruction of working class communities.
- Those that have suffered in the workplace due to the erosion of Trade Union rights.
- Those that now face homelessness or live in unsuitable accommodation as a result of her selling off council housing.
- Those employed in the manufacturing industry, the mines and the steel works who were made redundant.
- Those whose jobs are still at risk because of privatisation.
- And all others whose lives have been touched and ruined by the touch of Thatcher.
Thatcher the person is dead. Let’s work to drive her rotten neo-liberal
capitalist ideals into the grave with her.
