Explanation: Margaret Thatcher was the first female Prime Minister of the UK, who exercised considerable control over her cabinet and party. She was also a conservative dickweed who supported Loyalist paramilitaries during the Troubles.

I thought it was the seperatists that had paramilitaries? I don't know, I just remember seeing a poorly-painted mural some years back online

Both sides had paramilitaries, unfortunately.
