Yes. I can confirm.
Yes, Margaret Thatcher is dead

Keeping track of when, exactly, The Right Honourable Baroness Margaret Hilda Thatcher will finally cop it.

@MarkHoltom the conclusion may be correct - but the statement that the UKs oilfields were much larger is far from true.

@browngraham243 @MarkHoltom

Large trucks and fishing boats, second homes, and a cabin 3 provinces away don't pay for themselves. Until the next bust phase strikes, then they desperately sell it all.

@MarkHoltom Canada had a boom at the same time as Norway but all the money went to desperately poor oil & gas companies who shared it to help the plight of their needy shareholders

@MarkHoltom The funny part about this is the implication that socialism is achievable with heavy fossil fuel extraction
Show threadJohnnieMacMay 27
@feelnotes @MarkHoltom I think the implication is that any resource, if managed correctly, can provide long term sustainability. Applies to both renewable and non-renewable resources. The sign is usually that there is a tangible asset providing ongoing benefit,not a depleted resource and/or associated liabilities.

@MarkHoltom And Thatcher fought Argentina over the Falklands for "strategic protection". Even though Argentina had every right to seize those islands.

I usually don't boost memes without link, but this striking statement is easily supported by a tiny bit of research.

Yes, but in the UK, a very tiny number of people got a great deal of wealth the way the UK dealt with this, while the majority of citizens saw no benefit whatsoever.

Which was probably the goal in the first place
