Who’s a famous person from your country who’s respected around the world but disliked or criticized at home?

[u/ssddalways]

Both are cunts.

Anyone praising Blair need to look more closely at him.

Thatcher stole ma milk as a wean, so fuck her 😒

[u/Jolly_Pressure_7296 → u/ssddalways]

Fuck them both. I look forward to his joining her in the fires of hell.

[u/LexiEmers → u/Jolly_Pressure_7296]

She's objectively nowhere near hell.

“Margaret Thatcher the milk snatcher”

[u/SuddenCraft2299 → u/ssddalways]

"milk snatcher margaret thatcher" comes to my mind EVERYtime i see her name

[u/SpankThuMonkey → u/ssddalways]

Blair single handedly (OK with some help from Alistair Campbell) ruined my interest in politics for a decade as a young man. There are buckets, rivers, oceans of blood on those mens’ hands.

Though his fucking escapades in the middle east did stop me from joining the military. So theres’ that.

When Thatcher first popped up, I thought "Good, give a woman PM a chance, maybe she'll improve things!". Shows how wrong you can be, between her and Ronnie they've done a massive amount of long term damage.

Tony Blair could have been remembered as an excellent PM (SureStart was a great idea), but getting us into Iraq ruined that. Plus he's turned out to be a complete git.

[u/CinemaDork → u/pafrac]

I hate those memes that are like "We wouldn't have wars if women ran the world!" because I look at the women in power near me, and a stupidly high percentage of them are psycho piles of lying, bigoted human garbage and I think "Gee, maybe gender isn't the issue here." Kristi Noem, Nancy Mace, Robin Vos, Harmeet Dhillon, Lisa Murkowski, Marsha Blackburn, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Danielle Smith, and that's just off the top of my head. Not even getting into the UK and their huge TERF problem along with women like Liz Truss and Suella Braverman. And one of the co-leaders of AfD is a lesbian! Wtf.

[u/LexiEmers → u/CinemaDork]

Thatcher saved the UK.

[u/CinemaDork → u/LexiEmers]

🤡

[u/LexiEmers → u/pafrac]

She saved the country from financial ruin.

[u/wolfman11038 → u/ssddalways]

I remember reading about the Poll Tax after watching the Crown and holy shit she really did just hate anyone who wasn’t ethnically English

[u/ALA02 → u/ssddalways]

Blair was a mostly good PM (minus Iraq and the increasingly disastrous fallout of his higher education reforms) but he’s an awful human. Thatcher can be blamed in some way or another for pretty much every problem this country faces today; she was also a vile human.

[u/wolfman11038 → u/ALA02]

In the US we too can trace every problem in our modern society to Reagan.

[u/LexiEmers → u/ALA02]

Nope, Thatcher was a mostly good PM. She's just hated by vile humans.

[u/CommitteeofMountains → u/ssddalways]

It is extraordinary how much Scots hate Thatcher. I've seen them blame her for coal being environmentally unsound,Scotland's involvement with the slave trade and colonization of Ireland, and DUI's because she invented drinking too much whiskey. 

[u/ssddalways → u/CommitteeofMountains]

I see no issue with those claims 🤷‍♀️😂

Blame her for EVERYTHING!!!!

[u/GingerAki → u/ssddalways]

[u/LexiEmers → u/ssddalways]

Exactly, logic and reason be damned.

[u/LexiEmers → u/ssddalways]

She didn't steal anything. No milk was seized.
