They could have chosen any picture of the statue. I'd like to think the intern who picked it knew what they were doing

The shittiest people in the country know she created modern britain. Those people also just so happen to have all the power in the country.
I heard Britain needed a new gender neutral bathroom, so they built one. Seems pretty considerate if you ask me
damn that's a based old man. good on him
He is apparently the deputy director of the Attenborough Arts Centre, University of Leicester
seems like a discerning individual on the quality of art. I appreciate his contribution to that particular fixture.
it makes me feel existential horror that someone spent their one chance at life being Margaret Thatcher.
that person can never come back and make it right again. They had one chance, and "person whose statue gets egged" is who they were.
Think about the right side, there are billions of people who got to live lives not being Margaret Thatcher because of her sacrifice
they need to remind you again and again and again that they've won and we've lost
These wokies keep building new gender neutral bathrooms
Little known fact: an excellent use for statues of Thatcher is to melt them down and turn them into caltrops to place in front of police marches.
I didn't hear no bell
The British Ronald Reagan
Just throwing it out there that it's perfectly legal for birds to shit on it
She is relatively disliked, but also beloved by the worst kind of people. It is a bit like the US with southern civil war generals.
I imagine the gammon calling for the arrest is very red and disgusting looking.
I didn't know she was sick
No no she died a long time ago
One of the sickest ever to be in charge.
Imagine being the artist who has to sculpt a Maggie Thatcher statue. Were they enthusiastic? Was it just for the probably huge paycheck (if so, fine by me, get that bag). If they wanna put up statues to remind people of Britain's Reagan, go ahead. Seems like it accomplished more for class consciousness than anything. No conservative is being inspired to do more conservatism cause of the statue. It's already been shown instead to piss people off.
Thatcher statues are erected as a final resort to prevent anyone in the UKKK from inadvertently experiencing happiness
the artist who has to sculpt a Maggie Thatcher statu
I'm going to assume without looking it up that the artist in this case was some politicians failchild who slapped something together in CAD and gave the job to a team of underpaid Polish migraints.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

She slaaaayed (children pensioners and miners)
Yes she's hated by the working class but there are lots of conservatives and self hating proles who demand ~~effiges~~ glorious statues to try and turn the public on side.
