Although I see your point.

I know that, I'm just making the point that you don't have to have lived in an era to dislike what a particular political figure did. I've seen a couple of posts in that other thread over the last few days which have almost suggested people should move on and stop blaming her for their lives, which to me, is utterly ridiculous because the effects of her polices and ideology is still prevalent today. I said it in the thread - Thatcher may have died but Thatcherism lives on, and there's no real cause for celebration.

But the 'it's ridiculous' statement is just an opinion as I said to Ninastar (so I won't go over it all again ), you have to understand the flip side and how this woman affected so many people's lives and the lives of so many people's parents and how some people are just totally appalled by what she carried out, and how to some of those people, this will not be a disgusting campaign at all - it's just a matter of opinion, there is no definitive answer.
