Even though I wouldn't have been someone who would have voted for her (I was born the year before she resigned), I feel like it was a brutal way to force out a sitting Prime Minister. Margret Thatcher had been in office since 1979, won three General Elections in a row and won more votes in the leadership ballot against Michael Heseltine. But because of her being a few votes short of the overall majority required to win outright, her party turned on her. Having said that, some people I've spoken to who are old enough to remember it, said that they felt her years in Downing Street affected her judgement, leaving her out of touch with reality

The latter half of your comment was definitly one of the major reasons as to why Thatcher was ousted on top of her loosing the first Party ballot. You have to remember the wider context of the end of her premiership. The Community Charge was so unpopular it was causing riots, yet she refused to reverse her stance. Her years in power had definitly clouded her judgment and built her ego up to the point where she thought she knew better than everyone around her, didn't care for public opinion and wouldn't listen to any criticism.

Don't forget spanning the same 2 stories over an entire month in a subtle form of propaganda. There's plenty of news happening all the time, yet all the BBC wants to do is drone on and on and on about "British interests". This all started during COVID when propaganda dictated we should be afraid. Truthfully, knowing how stupid people are, it was needed. But I've noticed a pattern in coverage as of late, what happened to wide coverage? All these highlights where the BBC repeats the same story without adding anything to it, it's poor quality. Gaza for example, completely replaced Ukraine in coverage, and got shafted to podcasts and web coverage. It's disgusting.

In the two subsequent elections she only managed to get 42.4 and 42.2 percent of the vote, she never had a mandate to rule, same with everyone who came before and after including the comparably despicable Tony Blair. The last time this joke of a political system gave us a government with a majority was in 1931 under Tory Stanley Baldwin, if you exclude the recent farce of the faustian Con Dem coalition.
