I don't know anything about this woman. Was she really that bad? She was a leader in her party up until the year I was born.
Yes, famous mostly for her brutal and violent crackdown on labour union protests and for taking away milk from school children.
She's also responsible for bring Raegans trickle down economics to the UK and why we've been trapped in a neo Liberal hell hole ever since.
Even in her time she was wildly unpopular, until the Falklands War happened and gave her a massive spile in popularity ( even though it only happened in the first place because of her sweeping cuts to the military, including decommissioning our carriers. And we were lucky Argentina decided to attack early so we were able to put the carriers back into service pretty easily. If the had waited 6 months, there would have been nothing we could have done.)
By far my favourite article about her:

Honestly no worse than any other popular Western capitalist in the late 20th century.
