Britainology 31: Thatcherism feat. Paul Ewart
This week, Nate and Milo are joined by Paul Ewart (@paulewart23) of the University of Sussex to discuss Margaret Thatcher and how she changed Britain (pretty much solely for the worse!) And guess what: none of those effects are felt today, in any way.

Del Boy becoming a millionaire in the program was literally a fluke though, which is kinda funny. You can certainly see idea of a lower income in Del, though, for sure.
Fun fact: the Shoegaze band Ride, on their album "Nowhere", it's said you can hear the poll tax riots happening outside the studio way in the distance, while they were recording. I've no idea how credible that is, though. I read in a book called "1001 "Albums to Hear Before You Die".
Thinking about Thatcher just makes me feel so bleak. And now I want to go and read some Mark Fisher which is really not going to improve my mood.
Every day I remember Thatcher is dead is a good day.
If only Thatcherism would die too.
People often compare Reagan and Thatcher and while they are obviously similar in terms of historical-political roles, no one ever accused Thatcher of being either “sunny” or stupid.
