I expect the campaign (which was set up originally in 2007 IIRC) was started by someone or a group or people who did actually live during her time in office.
..honestly Jack, you really can't equate Margaret Thatcher with Hitler..but on the subject of WW2..that was a nation joined together and united in war and their losses and fears...what's happening now is a nation united in hatred..and people have a right to feel that if they want to and feel very passionately about it and show those feelings...but the people who don't feel the same, because she's dead and don't see the point in this, will feel just as passionately that this whole thing and everything on the internet etc is distasteful....
