Remain high on the inequality index, I assume. The UK got destroyed by Thatcher, and hasn't recovered since.

- anonunivgrad 6y agoThatcher wasn’t perfect, but England was an economic basket case before her premiership. Visceral Thatcher hate is a meme for nonthinking people.

And why should I or anyone else care about what a fiction author thinks?
