#fuck you Margaret Thatcher

[teaforqne]

My grandfather used to be a police man in the 80s, and when Queen came to Argentina in '81, he was put in the job of being a security man in their concert - my dad, who's a huge Queen fan, wanted to go and even sneak backstage to meet the band, but due to my grandpa absolutely *hating* Brits due to the Malvinas war, he didn't let him go see them nor even attend the concert...

So I could've had a dad that met Queen, but thanks to Maggie Thatcher that was fumled... 👎

Hotd writers have like a week on set....

When I say this season wasn't keeping me hopeful, it's because they weren't there.

I wish them well, though, and I hope Hbo doesn't do too much along with y'all

The strikers won🩷🤭

[tuttle-did-it]

Rewatching Sliders, episode "Asylum," (season 4, E10). During a war with the villains, Margaret Thatcher was a collaborator with them.

Because of this, any other collaborators are now called Thatchers. And that makes me laugh so, so hard. Because she absolutely would have done exactly this.

they fucking made an amazing photoshop of her doing this and I'm dying with laughter. 😂

Bc they were besties:

You are granted a time machine and the ability to prevent one birth (or commit a murder up to you), don't worry about the butterfly effect, we want the butterfly effect that's part of the point. Your actions will prevent them from ever rising to prominence. No he's not here, because it'd be too much of a sweep, pick your second choice if you're wondering where he is

To all the Americans worrying that Kamala won’t be a good first female president, don’t worry it can’t be any worse than the UK’s three attempts

[listen-to-the-inner-walrus]

Hey hi hello to any fellow Brits reading this.

You probably know we have a general election coming up, which by the way, make sure you're registered to vote and have the qualifying photo ID.

And hey maybe you're a fence-sitter who doesn't want to vote for Labour for whatever reason.

Well, this post is giving you a reason to vote for Labour (or any party other than Tory if the candidate actually has a chance to win the seat).

You might have noticed that a lot of local and city councils have either gone bankrupt recently or are teetering on the edge, and that officially, it's the councils themselves that have been blamed, and uh yeah, that's horseshit.

The majority of a local council's funding comes from core grants given out by Westminster.

There's actually a limit on funding that local councils can raise via taxes, and like a whole lot of issues in the UK, that comes down to Margaret fucking Thatcher. It's also thanks to her that local councils don't have as much power over the local area as you'd ideally want them to.

(That's been eased a little since, but if a local council ain't got the money, they can't exercise that power.)

Suffice to say, local councils are very much dependent on funding from the central government.

And as you might imagine, 14 years of Tory government has just made it worse. From 2010 to 2020, that funding was cut by 40%.

Wanna know why hundreds of libraries have closed down? Or why public services like bin collections are almost entirely ran by corporations? Or why bin collections are now once a fortnight rather than once a week? Or why council houses haven't been built? Or why public toilets are being closed? Or why you have to Tokyo Drift on the drive to work because it's been 2 years and no one's done shit about that goddamn pothole? Or why parks seem to now be maintained by Big Foot and by the way Big Foot has also declared bankruptcy? Or why local arts have had their budget of 17 paperclips and a whistle reduced down to 10 paperclips and no whistle? Or why your local museum is effectively a mausoleum?

It is all down to this.

Your local council runs on a shoestring budget because Tory rule has deprived local councils of the funding that they need.

If the Tories win in July, this problem is just gonna get worse and worse and worse.

More councils are going to go bankrupt; more public services are going to be cut or underfunded; more vulnerable kids are going to fall through the cracks; more local services will be privatised; more pressing issues will be ignored because there's no money left over to fix it.

You might not like the current Labour party, but hi hello welcome to harm reduction politics. Maybe a Labour government won't fix this, but another 5 years of Tory rule is going to break this country.

So for god's sake, get over yourself and your leftist purity bullshit, and just fucking vote for Labour as a vote against the Tories.

Morning man!! I just wanna thank you for how often your posts help my morning become a good one!! you’re rad as hell!!

Good Morning Possibly Pasta, I wonder what else you possibly are. This is just like when the phone tells me "possible spam" but it doesn't tell me any of the other things it could possibly be. I'm just gonna spend all goddamn day wondering. Anyway, whatever you are I appreciate you reminding me of Hell because I was thinking of making a three Camera sitcom set there called "Reagan and Friends" and I found this old screenshot from it. Tidings of Dawn, Bud☀️🧙🏼‍♂️✌🏼

also if you're ever wondering why we as a society are descending into lunacy, it's because children no longer care about the real world because their entire lives exist exclusively online

Had a dream last night in which 90s prime minister John Major seized back the modern day reins of power in a dystopian coup d'etat.

He was still the same [not getting overly political in case I get jumped by any John Major stans lurking in the no doubt very active John Major tag on tumblr] but for some reason, in the dream, people were whispering in hushed tones things like "oh, John Major wouldn't like that" and "as John Major once said..." as though he was some towering figure of Stalin-like awe and terror.

Patrols of grey-uniformed John Major dictatorial stormtroops roamed the streets, brutally suppressing any dissent against the new regime. Relentless John Major propaganda blared from every source and peas were mandatory at every meal. Vast bonfires of traffic cones and BSE-infected cattle blotted out the horizon in all directions.

So as a bit of escapism from the John Major dictatorship I now lived under, I listened to a Warhammer audio drama. All the voices and narration were as you might expect, except for Perturabo.

He had Plankton's voice.

People acted like I was the weird one for pointing it out. So far as anyone else was concerned it was just an accepted normal fact that Mr Lawrence-as-Plankton was and always had been the official voice of Perturabo in all Warhammer media.

[intradognition]

okay so like many things, the failures of the british transit system can be traced directly back to the policies of margaret thatcher in the 1980s, which ushered in the era of neoliberalism that dogs our country to this very da- stop doing that for a moment, it's very distracting

SORRY . SORRY sorry whimpering and hiding my tail between my legs (which is still wagging profusely) . keep going im listening i promise!!!!!!!

[andromedasummer]

we need to put margaret thatchers son back in the desert. put him in another rally car and send him out he will get lost on his own again i know he will. make sure hes there longer than a week. i refuse to believe a tory can survive the deadliest rally in the world twice.
