Explanation: Margaret Thatcher was the first female Prime Minister of the UK, who exercised considerable control over her cabinet and party. She was also a conservative dickweed who supported Loyalist paramilitaries during the Troubles.

But at least she was a pioneer in open-air gender neutral toilets, that's got to count for something

I thought it was the seperatists that had paramilitaries? I don't know, I just remember seeing a poorly-painted mural some years back online

Both sides had paramilitaries, unfortunately.

Well that's not very nice of either of them, I wish they could have sat down and talked it out like adults
