Last Word on Mrs T.

I’m growing very tired of the attention being given to Margaret Thatcher. I’m sick of the endless, pointless rhetoric over whether she is to be lauded or reviled. In particular, I’m sick of senior politicians and the media lauding her because it’s the polite thing to do now that she’s dead.

To me, the issue is simple. Mrs Thatcher was the prime architect of modern Britain. There’s no doubt that Britain is more stress-laden, more debt-laden, more divided, more dangerous, and dirtier than it was before she took the reins.

So let’s just bury her, shall we? Put her remains in a hole, fill it with a ton of earth, place a heavy stone on top of it, and walk away. There’s probably no need of a stake.
