I won't get started on my views on Thatcher or I'll never stop!
The thing about her & comic strip appearances reminded me a lot of the more political Viz-clone from 1989-91 ish called Brain Damage (later The Damage).
She often popped up in its strips.
One that sticks a lot in my mind was the "Bloody Stoodents" strip where Mrs T is portrayed with long claws & shark's teeth, having abolished grants for student loans.
It features her saying about "paying off these samll amounts" whilst a student looks at a bill for thousands of pounds.
It also very prophetically predicted in about 10ish years time the only ones going to Uni will be charity cases (nowadays box tickings) with things such a deformities or toothsome spoilt rich kids who one says "everone has loadamanny and there's no Northern Oiks about!"
(interesting I read that when her death was announced at an NUS conference the cheers were very muted. Hmmm).
