RIP Maggie Thatcher


BBC News – Ex-Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher dies.

I had a long post planned for when this happened, which was going to say that we shouldn’t fall for the caricature version of her that’s going to be presented in the next few days (by the Right as much as the Left) and focus on her legacy- which is quite toxic- and her heirs- who are doing far more damage than she ever did.  But I have two children to look after today, so I’ll keep it brief.
