Good for him (and I don't normally like Starmer either)!

Large numbers of people in the North of England and Scotland, in particular, have no good reason for remembering the high unemployment, the poverty and the hopelessness of the Thatcher years. People might also remember how a large number of cities and towns refused the television displays in public places of her funeral. And as for her popularity remember how "Ding Dong The Witch is Dead" became a very popular song at that time. If you are going to have portraits on the wall, have those of people who united the country, not divided it!
