She didnt call the Unions the Enemy Within she called the Striking Miners the enemy within dont write our families out of history for a cheap point

'Margaret Thatcher called bin Laden a 'freedom fighter', Mandela a 'terrorist', Pinochet a 'good friend' and trade unions 'the enemy within'. And Jimmy Savile 'Sir'.' - @David__Osland @Conservatives

Oh, don’t forget that she also destroyed the manufacturing industry, deregulated the media, sold off all of our precious assets and assisted Reagan to commence the largest distribution of wealth from the bottom to the top. We are still reaping the rewards of those failed policies

Thatcher and Reagan created the Taliban.

Mandela was a terrorist.

Why are Tories such poor judges of character?

They all knew about him like they did about Prince Andrew.

You don't want to hear what we called her

She also stole milk from kids, put half the country on the dole and sold the council houses so now councils are going bankrupt for paying housing benefit on the homes they used to own and collect rent on... I could go on but...

No, Margaret Thatcher never explicitly called Osama bin Laden a "freedom fighter." This common internet myth conflates her broad geopolitical stance during the Cold War with a specific statement about bin Laden that she never made. Stop lying.

Pinochet was vital in winning us the Falklands War

At the time all of these were factually correct.

And yet she achieved so very very much more than you could ever do, didn't she?

Your references to Mandela and Bin Laden are just shite - but you know that. The other two? Pinochet may have been a cunt but he was a friendly cunt to the UK and its armed forces. Savike? I couldn’t care less about what she called him. Do better.

and she was right on all counts

Tony Blair called Jeffrey Epstein quite often.

Supported Pol Pot. But Vietnam responded and also pushed back Chinese troops who were angered at the fall of their mate PP.

Mandela was 100% a terrorist

And we will hate her corpse forever, not just her memory

Always knew she was pretty appalling. She's still dead 👍👍👍

pretty much sums up what was wrong with the world i spent most of my adult life in. We all knew at the time she was on the wrong side of history, but we were at Glastonbury and had no power.

her campaign organiser was a pdf rapist who framed the whole parliament with blackmail ops involving child abuse.

All were true at the time

Indications, should they be needed, of her utter lack of humanity.

Keir Starmer sent a criminal to be usa ambassador- so be careful what you post

She was content to prolong, indeed enable, the Iran-Iraq war (nearly a million lives lost in conditions similar to WWI). She, very conveniently, rediscovered her moral judgement when Saddam invaded Kuwait. The Matrix Churchill scandal says much about the integrity of her regime.

Just about all political parties thought Savile was a brilliant fundraiser for Stoke Mandeville. Thatcher made no reported comments on Bin Laden but she did describe the Mujahideen as on the side of freedom - clearly that was some years before some elements morphed into terrorism. The New Statesman skewered the myth of Thatcher calling Mandela a terrorist some years ago. It isn’t true. She did regard the military wing of the ANC as a terrorist organisation though. You’re right on Pinochet but even that is complex given Chile’s staunch support for Britain in the Falklands War.

She was a racist cunt too. She didn’t want apartheid to end and aggressively supported it.

Osland using the wonder of hindsight.

You know! Thatcher, still the ‘Shero’ for our esteemed Tories!!!

Is this supposed to be a flex on her part… or?

On the other hand, Tom Watson calls public disquiet about Palantir processing our personal data 'mob rule'.

and then she forgot it all

As did you

I bet John Simpson loved her ! #Beeboid

she was a #scientist by training though earthling and got it right about #climatechange
