Are the eggs okay?
eromitlab
The problem with throwing eggs at the Margaret Thatcher statue is that you eventually run out of eggs.

hehehe there's a joke in there hehehehe

I'd put a stake through her heart and garlic around her neck to make sure she never comes back.

Ah yes, the cold mother of neoliberalim. She talked about climate change in UN in 1989, but realized there wasn't any support and decided to forget about it. Thatcherism inspired New Public Management (crack the whip and cut spending), and C. Hood, who coined this term, wrote a book on UK data 30 years later, realizing that it had made things more expensive and less effective. It continues to destroy nations across the world. And she favored open trade with SA Apartheid when no one else did.

I've noticed a fair amount of historic revisionism praising Thatcher from American radical right incels lately. Yeah, if you ignore all the massive failures, decades long damage, and morally repugnant nonsense, and then view what's left from just the right angle you can reasonable conclude she was a cunt still.

waste of eggs, should have used dog poop bags

Eggs are probably recalled anyway.

Waste of dog poop

Should have used the heads of Torie party voters.

Why waste the bag?
OverwhelmingSurplusOfDiggity
Yeah, just shit on the statue.

I assume most canines in the vicinity of thw statue are small enough to pick up so they can shit on the statue

I read an anecdote about a confederate statue where someone threw eggs and stuff at it in the dark but then during the day a diligent citizen in a reflective vest would take a sponge and bucket of water and clean it off.
...and after a few years the salt water and whatever that was apparently in that bucket had so badly damaged the crappy statue that the statue had to be torn down.

Let me guess. more American problems? Who is the statue of?
notreallyaclevername
You could have saved yourself so much humiliation with a simple Google search. Her name is right there, you could have googled Margaret Thatcher and, within seconds, known she was not American.

She was a Tory PM of the UK 1979-1990, known for neoliberal policies and austerity measures.

Yes, here is the draft :

People who remember what a dire state the UK was in the 70s before she came to power? She literally saved the country. In the 70s we had rolling power cuts, we had to be bailed out by the IMF, you were banned from taking too much money out of the country, you were told to share your bathwater with a friend and so on. She closed all the coal mines? No, Wilson and his Labour government closed way more mines and got rid of far more miners jobs. The UK was WAY better off after her time in office.
graifazig
See the ropes around the neck? She's being hanged. So that's ok.

Not necessarily - the clothes aren't modern. Probably just a look-alike.

The only answer that truly makes sense. Thank you.
Quessir
Not only is there a statue of Oliver Cromwell, but British people voted him as number 10 in a list of the 100 Greatest Britons back in 2002.
And they placed Thatcher 16th.
One man's villain is another man's hero, clearly.
custardandfishfingers24
I'm an American. I have never understood this admiration for Cromwell.
Quessir
Sadly, as is usual, a lack of knowledge on what he did next door.
Lloyd George complained about Éamon de Valera's insistence on talking about all the wrongs Britain did to Ireland during negotiations. Whenever he'd try to bring him back to the present, de Valera would go back to Cromwell. When later asked about it, de Valera said George needed a history lesson.
If there's one name or word that really sums up why Irish and British relations were difficult for so long, it's Cromwell.

One was made it wasn't put up in Parliament Square as it might "attract bad actions". It's in Grantham with CCTV due to people pissing on it
BeatriceAine
Tories / Conservatives aren't of sound mind though. They are small, scared, normally old people who have been made afraid of everything and punch downward as a result. They loved Thatcher.
thundercactus
There are still busts and statues of Stalin in russia. They even unveiled a new one not that long ago.
People are fucked in the head.
thirdlittilbird
A new statue of Stalin in Russia? Wtaf, Im not sure if anyone at all benefitted from such an individual
Frencheeseater
Yes, Putin's propaganda is pushing Stalin as an icon because of the image of "steel-man" and presenting the invasion of Ukraine as a revival of WW2 against the Nazis...

At least they secured her with some strong ropes around her neck, so that she doesn't run off to do some evil shit.

I hate throwing out these accusations but those images sort of reek of AI. Someone prove me wrong.
CaptainYesterday
The statue is real, the strap around its neck was used to help steady the statue as it was lowered onto the plinth it stands upon. The egg thrower? Ehh I dunno.
lozeldatkm
Damn, I was hoping someone had lynched it in effigy.
CaptainYesterday
It seems upon searching a lot of people compared it to that.. especially given her... Divisive history.

It's an ancient human tradition to put up statues of horrible cunts.

Yeah but those that put them up idolize these ideas. Thatcher was universally hated.

You think that’s bad? We’ve got a statue of Orangeman at the Farm Show grounds here in Butler. I think it’s titled: Missed him by that much!

It's an exhortation to practice marksmanship.

SneakyGaryTheSerialHorseDrowner
This is, unfortunately, not even remotely true.
ZoBrightlance
She's a conservative icon, and given the world's universal shift towards the right over the past few years, not surprising that they'd try to put up a statue for her.
FrancsTireur
There's also a section of the British population, mostly veterans like myself, who very much hate her on the homefront but have a respect for her determination and ferocity abroad. You can say many many things about her, and its my opinion that its better to be loved than to be feared as a nation, but its fatal to be neither and Britain has been neither loved nor feared for at least 30 years.
Marsupialmessiah
"Ferocity abroad" like starting a fecking war against Argentina for some fucking islands that have literally 100 sheep, sinking an unarmed ship full of students and letting them drown and getting one of your very expensive ships go back home with a hole the size of a futbol field, all while the us is behind you? Like thats ferocity? She was basically Ronal Reagan with an accent and boobs.
GentlemanScientist
Last few years? It's been doing that for as long as I can remember.
ZoBrightlance
Yes, but not quite as aggressively or as publicly as it has been since 2016.

My first boss had a cardboard cutout of her in his office he took home once a week so his wife could clean it before weekend sales started.

How would it get so dirty in a week? What was he doing to that poor cardboard?

One would assume people were throwing eggs at it.
