The 12th anniversary of Margaret Thatcher’s death sent this classic Frankie Boyle joke viral and it’s one for the ages

This week marked 12 years since the death of Margaret Thatcher. The former PM died aged 87 on 8 April 2013 after suffering a stroke.

We mention this not because we’re launching a spin off ‘on this day in political history’ site but because it sent this classic Frankie Boyle moment on Mock the Week viral again and it really is one for the ages.
