    can one of the Brits lay out bullet points or just a short list of why Thatcher is so universally hated by the uk?

    I really only know the memes and I’m finally curious about the substance.

    thank you.

      To add on what @Higgs Boson@dubvee.org said, credit to where it’s due, the privatisation did help the struggling British economy lift itself out of edging bankruptcy caused by the oil crisis. We have to admit that, sometimes, you need to tighten your belt. But, Thatcher went too far with gutting welfare and unions. Even some respectable conservatives at the time agreed that she went too far.
