In addition, when it was learned that the British government decided to hold a funeral of the same level as Princess Diana for Mrs. Thatcher on April 13, it immediately triggered a huge protest from the British people. In protest, some people turned their backs on each other when Mrs Thatcher's coffin passed by, expressing their dissatisfaction with her.
There is an old saying in China, the deceased is big and the grave is safe! So, what kind of hatred does the British need to humiliate Margaret Thatcher, an iron-fisted female prime minister who has just died and has been praised by countless people?
As we all know, Margaret Thatcher became the first female prime minister in British history on 1979. Since then, she has ruled British politics 1 1 year, and is also the longest-serving prime minister. Many British people also commented on Margaret Thatcher, saying that she was the woman who saved Britain and the greatest British leader. In that case, why was Margaret Thatcher humiliated by the public after her death? Why do those demonstrators hate Mrs Thatcher so much?
As the saying goes, character determines fate! Margaret Thatcher is called "Iron Lady" because of her tough style and angular character like steel. People who like her will think she is a great woman; People who don't like her call her a dictator.
It is precisely because of this steely personality that it has become a stumbling block for the "Iron Lady" to move on. Being at the peak of power for a long time has made Mrs. Thatcher's self-confidence expand more and more, making her cabinet ministers a laughing stock of public opinion. Therefore, it was her cabinet cronies who first rose up against the Iron Lady.
1990, despite the opposition of the cabinet, Margaret Thatcher insisted on collecting poll tax. In the end, this incident became the last straw to crush the camel. The British people's anger against Mrs. Thatcher has reached the extreme. 1990+ 1654381On October 22nd, Margaret Thatcher was forced to resign.
After leaving office, the political friends I used to make almost never associate with Mrs. Thatcher. Especially in 2003, after the death of her husband who had lived together for 53 years, Mrs. Thatcher's spiritual pillar collapsed, accompanied by only servants and an empty big house. My son only comes once every few weeks, and my daughter only comes to see her mother once every few months.
In British politics 1 1 year, there are so many enemies that no friends can understand, but why are Mrs. Thatcher's children indifferent to her? This is because for many years, Mrs. Thatcher was busy with politics, and her children's families were taken care of by her husband, so her relationship with her children was very distant. Her daughter Carol even commented on her mother in an interview: "She is a successful prime minister, but she is a bad mother."
To make matters worse, Margaret Thatcher, whose memory has always been amazing, actually suffers from Alzheimer's disease, and often forgets the second sentence after the first sentence is finished. Previously, she paid attention to political trends every day and could not read books or newspapers at all. At the same time, the former "Iron Lady" has gradually been forgotten, and the number of birthday cards received every year has changed from several hundred to several.
In the eyes of the British people, Mrs. Thatcher's life can be described as mixed, so she finally ended up in a bleak dusk, and her children were as cold as ice and suffered humiliation after their death. However, despite the controversy surrounding Margaret Thatcher after her death, people who love her will not forget her because of her death. As a China native, it is undeniable that she has made great contributions to the development of Sino-British relations, especially to the peaceful settlement of the Hong Kong issue.
