The Scots don't like Thatcher....

Seen before. Don't blame them either, she put the final nail in the coffin for Britain as a power of any consequence and created a huge, destructive rift in British society. History in the long term will not remember her kindly...

I think the crowd has several motivations behind hating Thatcher.  And given your posting history I don't think you would agree with the fans' other reasons to despise Maggie.

The poll tax? The decimation of manufacturing? Privatization? The use of the police as a political force?

No, it is a Celtic FC ultra.  Some among the crowd would not be particularly happy with Thatcher's policies in Northern Ireland.

Ah, true.

Umm...how so?

Have you actually done any research on Thatcher beyond the fact she was a Tory?

Yes. Have you? Or, more specifically, could you explain how Thatcher was responsible for British decline and how she created a giant rift in British society and how the future will hate her? The first and last of those seem, to me, clearly incorrect and I'm not entirely certain what you mean by the second.

Vast inequality, the destruction of British manufacturing, the redistribution of wealth from the poor to the rich... she's already pretty much loathed by most Britons outside of the South of England. Her policies put millions out of work.
