she was a controversial, independent thinker and british people hate that. they are a collectivist shit-hole of trained peasants so anyone who comes up with bold, radical ideas is immediately shunned as "socially dangerous" and attacked via crab-bucket syndrome. they would rather sink the entire ship than admit someone is better than them. she didn't care about the emotional-psychological needs of adult children and simply, unapologetically worked to do what was best for britain at any given moment without flattery or kow-towing to the peasant masses. unfortunately, her american counterpart reagan is remembered more fondly because he managed to project a popular and mass image that thatcher never did.
