On This Day, 8 April 2013, Former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher Died. Street Parties

On this day, 8 April 2013, former Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher died. Street parties broke out across the UK, particularly in working class areas and in former mining communities which were ravaged by her policies. Her legacy is best remembered for her destruction of the British workers’ movement, after the defeat of the miners’ strike of 1984-5. This enabled the drastic increase of economic inequality and unemployment in the 1980s. Her government also slashed social housing, helping to create the situation today where it is unavailable for most people, and private property prices are mostly unaffordable for the young. Thatcher also complained that children were “being cheated of a sound start in life” by being taught that “they have an inalienable right to be gay”, so she introduced the vicious section 28 law prohibiting teaching of homosexuality as acceptable. Abroad, Thatcher was a powerful advocate for racism, advising the Australian foreign minister to beware of Asians, else his country would “end up like Fiji, where the Indian migrants have taken over”. She hosted apartheid South Africa’s head of state, while denouncing the ANC as a “typical terrorist organisation”. Chilean dictator Pinochet, responsible for the rape, murder and torture of tens of thousands of people, was a close personal friend. Back in the UK, she protected numerous politicians accused of paedophilia including Peter Hayman, Peter Morrison and Cyril Smith. She also lobbied for her friend, serial child abuser Jimmy Savile, to be knighted despite being warned about his behaviour. Thatcher was eventually forced to step down after the defeat of her hated poll tax by a mass non-payment campaign. Our latest T-Shirt of the Month, made by a workers’ coop and supporting unions in Asia, commemorates this and the miners’ strike. Available this month only: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/t-shirt-of-the-month Pictured: Savile welcoming Thatcher to hell, reportedly. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1959966177521856/?type=3

NOUR NEEDS MEDICINE!!!

NOUR NEEDS MEDICINE!!!

My dear friend Noha @nohaibrahims-blog is in need of funds to purchase medicine for her younger sister Nour. Nour was born with serious health problems. When she was just 7 months old, she went through open-heart surgery, and continues to suffer from various effects of that. She requires medication to treat her condition, but her family has no money to purchase it.

They need $500 for the cost of the medication. Nour really REALLY needs this medication!! Can we raise $500 on GFM in 48 hours? Please support if you can, reblog this post, and copy and paste this link (https://gofund.me/4be74469) across all your social media accounts.

My Friend Sama Has Been Through A Lot. She's Lost Her Husband After Making A Fundraiser With The Dream

My friend Sama has been through a lot. She's lost her husband after making a fundraiser with the dream of being able to save her whole family and be able to escape as one piece. That did not happen, but she still has herself and her two kids, Nour and Arkan. They get skin diseases that are expensive to care for and because they live on a tent on the beach, she wakes up to find poisonous bugs that enter the tent while her children sleep.

Her current goal is to reach $15,000 by the end of October, to help procure winter gear and food. So please help in any way possible.

Urgent appeal to those with merciful hearts.🚨 I hope you will help me save my child from his serious illness, which may lead to the worst if we do not address the bad situation that he and my husband are going through, who is injured in this war.

I am Najah Al-Hila, married to Khaled Muqdad from Gaza City. I am a mother of four young children. My family consists of Waleed, 9 years old, Mira, 6 years old, Ahmed, and Mayar, 3 years old.

Ahmed suffered from head cramps and increased electricity after his birth. He was given medication and had blood tests done every two months to make sure his health was stable. He suffered from these cramps in 2021. My husband also suffered from liver and digestive system problems five years ago and is still suffering from these problems. Over time, my husband was injured during the war, which made things worse for him. We thank God for everything. Because of the instability and unavailability of the medication, we face difficulties in buying medications due to their high prices. Now life has become very difficult and the prices of medications have increased due to their scarcity. Things have become more difficult due to the lack of money and his expensive treatment, which has led to its unavailability due to money. I hope that all donors and supporters will not forget Ahmed and his father Khaled in alleviating their pain by providing the costs of his treatment and buying him the appropriate medicine and food. We also do not forget his brothers from the malnutrition they suffered from during this difficult period.

Please everyone pay attention, I have been away from you for a while due to my health condition. I hope this situation is taken seriously. My husband and children's lives are in grave danger, I hope you do not suffer what he suffered. May your children and loved ones be safe and sound. I hope you help in their treatment and that their condition, which has worsened over time, stabilizes. Save Khaled and Ahmed from this disease that has afflicted them, please. Help us.

Note: My husband Khaled was working as a teacher before the war and obtained a teaching certificate from Al-Aqsa University and became an Arabic language teacher, but he was not lucky enough to find a job, so he became a worker due to the poor economic situation we are going through. At the end of my talk, he became injured and unable to work in this current situation. I hope you do not forget this and take it into consideration that there is a mother who seeks to preserve her husband and children by fighting for them. Your support is a support for me in these critical moments that we are living in and we may not live due to the repeated attacks by the occupation and the failure to reach an agreement to end the war.

We can no longer provide the necessities of life. My family's future is completely destroyed. I can no longer live in Gaza. I want to leave the Strip and treat my child and husband, so I need $5,000 per person.

To get out of Gaza and find treatment and a better life for my children and family.

I am asking for help, and I hope that you will help me and donate to me.
