On Netflix (in the UK anyway), I thoroughly recommend this documentary about the coal workers strikes in the 1980s, and especially about the Battle of Orgreave. Please Google that, you won't believe it.

Now, coming from a part of Scotland that the Tories decimated, especially the shipbuilding industry, I always knew that Margaret Thatcher was an evil fuck. No exaggeration.

To say this sheds more light on her way of thinking, is an understatement. Well worth watching.

@MichaelRLaverty she was the epitome of evil and it's Britain's shame (along with the Empire) that every single government since, has carried on her legacy

@killingfloorman yeah, I'd never tire of telling anyone how evil she was, and how she is responsible for a lot of the shite that goes on today.

(Side story, I can remember my teachers cheering when she resigned. I carried the note to every class, from my headmistress 😂)
