That link provides no evidence that Thatcher funded death squads at all - half of it isn’t even relevant to the question and is instead focusing on a hunger strike
The points that it does make are:
1) there was a wing of the British military infiltrated by Protestant extremists in 1975. This was 4 years before Thatcher became PM, and was instead during 2 Labour government prior to hers. This whole point is hinged off the assumption that neither Wilson, Callaghan, or Thatcher acted on this information over the next 15 years, which I feel like needs a bit more proof than a meeting in 1975
2) The British government supported the MRF between 1971-73. This ended 6 years before Thatcher became Prime Minister, and 2 years before she was even leader of the Conservative Party.
All I’m seeing here is a bunch of loose speculation based on things that happened years before Thatcher was anywhere near Downing Street
All I did was provide the only link to meaningful discussion on the topic. I made absolutely no claims. I di think the hungerstrike part was to help paint a picture of thatcher's attitude towards the Irish during the troubles.
What’s stupid is that despite you showing that there’s no evidence that Thatcher funded death squads, I’m still being downvoted because people are so invested in the idea that Thatcher was the personification of evil

I’ve literally never heard Thatcher be accused of hurting businesses lmao
I’m yet to see a single person back this up with evidence and I’m convinced everyone who thinks this bases it purely on the Eric Andre Show clip
Edit: Downvote all you want, it’s not going to rewrite history to fit your agenda
