Have a bit of respect, she was mother to someone
Never really understood that quote, so what springs to mind, or do we respect people just for giving birth?
We still have not fully seen the final repercussions for her reign and legacy and my personal venom for her springs not from being a Miners son, nor a shop floor labourer, not even for the position she and her government left the schools in or the lack of support shown for Falkland vets, it was and is for the specific wholesale pillage of this countries flawed but operational mental health system. Some of the most prime building land in Surrey was ripped from places such as Virginia Water, Epsom, Botleys, and Brookwood, where care and understanding of a massively wide variety of illness was beginning to be treatable with compassion and care, the days of total medicinal blackouts were behind us, and these thousands of people had a place to be safe and to be cared for, until she decided they would be better off on the streets and all of that land made available at pure pennies in the pound for the vultures who supported her to speculate on and build their fortunes with, scum each and every one of them.
Oh and back to her sweet kiddies, in common with the feelings today of the majority, she may well have been a mother, but the best part of them slid down her legs.
