Default Margaret Thatcher festival to go ahead :Monday 13th of October

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czr83v718ejo


[A festival to celebrate the
100th anniversary of Margaret Thatcher's birth
is due to be held in her home town later this year.
The former Conservative prime minister was born
in Grantham, Lincolnshire, in 1925
and died in April 2013, aged 87.

South Kesteven District Council is planning
a programme of events during the week of 13 October.
A council meeting earlier heard ideas being
suggested for the festival,
including themed beers with names
such as Iron Lady or Grantham Lass,
which would "relate to the Thatcher experience".

According to the Local Democracy
Reporting Service, details of the
programme are still being developed,
with little yet confirmed about what
will be included in the celebrations.

Council leader Ashley Baxter indicated
the event could be called
"The Festival of Thatcher".]


Maybe a High Fence is needed
to keep trouble makers out,

Thatcher the milk snatcher. To say the very least. Horrible heartless woman.

I doubt I'd have supported her.
She went way too far on workers rights.
Plus what she did to the NHS making hospitals trusts.
Then the privatisation con.
Then her terrible poll tax was despicable.

However she was a strong leader, she did win 3 elections, although 2 more gifted to her by split opposition voting.

There were good things she did however and she actually was one of the minds as to being an architect of the EU single market.
Were she around today, as she was when PM, she'd have wiped the floor with all the current leaders of ALL Parties..
She'd have seen off Farage's Reform mob too..

She's also to be fair, the longest post war Prime Minister as well.
Love or hate her, a festival or other commemoration is in order I'd say.
