Yes that's right, Maggie Thatcher has somehow escaped from Hell in Thatcher's Techbase, a new Doom II campaign that has been announced that will be free to grab on September 24.
Developed by 3D: Doom Daddy Digital this will be a very British take on the whole Doom thing that I can't wait to jump into with a cuppa. Might need a few biscuits too as apparently the UK is the 10th circle of Hell - well it's not wrong. It will be provided as a standard WAD file so it will be playable across any system that can play it. The developer mentioned compatibility with PRBoom, DSDA-Doom, ZDoom and GZDoom.

The trailer mentions it will have support for five difficult levels, co-op and deathmatch support, gamepad support and an original soundtrack too.
It will need a copy of DOOM II which you can get from GOG and Steam.

Its at times like this, when folks disagree, I like to quote the late great Mr. Rogers:
"I like each and every one of you just the way you are."
The only thing to hate in this world is hatred itself and that which perpetuates it.
It's you I like.

Which one? Mine (right above yours)?
No it's not; what am I, Dinsdale from the Piranha Brothers?

Why? What i know Thatcher is one of good politicians (not best possible, she has been to much on lift side of spectrum). Problem is leftist propaganda blaming her for result of leftist policy.
No, i just have different political ideology.

Is interesting what this type of content brings... For me I tend to search more about the topic why she is the devil ? Here in South America she is the monster of the Malvinas War (Falkland Islands) in some parts, and in other was the person that made possible to buy advanced medical stuff and technology (lifted the arms and technology embargo in Chile).
I have read her Wikipedia after watching The Crown (Very entertaining series! Almost historically accurate) and still can't decide what to think about her. I have seen some Ken Loach films about England and after leaving a while next door of England I have to say that like life she is gray, will have people that love her and ones that hate her, and a lot of people in the middle.
I really hope that on the project page have a section that say why he thinks that, if that was the case at least could learn another perspective of what happen to someone.

The problem with pissing on Margaret Thatcher's grave is that eventually you run out of piss.

The problem of Linux communities is that the huge part of it isn't people that cares about freedom of the individuals, is just socialists that want to "fight the burgesses".

This is an often used misrepresentation of what is being said to build a nice strawman to deconstruct.
What people are talking about when they say "don't put politics in video games" is obviously not "don't have video games that deal with politics as part of their setting/world" - naturally most non-abstract games with a story do that (some game's entire POINT is that, e.g. Disco Elysium) and nobody's got an issue with it.
Instead, the point is that developers should keep their personal opinions and views where they belong (various discussion platforms exist for that purpose) and not taint an entertainment product in order to try and shove their views down the audience's throat via (usually very thinly veiled) pandering, preaching and self-insertions.
Stuff like that is insidious and disgusting.
Now, for games like this one, I would make exceptions.
For one, it is obviously over-the-top satire, there isn't really much of a point made other than "Thatcher bad!" to begin with. It's on the same level as Tonigh We Riot's "Capitalism bad!" - I can't agree with that, but find it cute nonetheless.
Additionaly, nothing here is thinly veiled in the least. You don't get into this game by accident and are then surprised by some anti-Thatcher content. Which is in contrast to a lot of other modern games where you go in expecting nothing vile and suddenly characters become very obvious and annoying mouthpieces for whatever views their creators hold.

I'm loosing brain cells
Spoiler, click me
The fuck is freedom of the individuals ?
Are you define it by Civil liberties or the idealist liberalism sense ?
because latter is a slippery slope her a contradiction for you : "I'm free to own a slave yet the slave isn't free, if you take the slave from me it's a attack to my individual freedom and the same time me owning the slave is clear violation of his right as a individual."
and the strawman about the socialists not caring about freedom of the individuals.
every single labour law was over fought by tear & blood;
from the 40hwork day
to better working condition
In every country people are struggling for a better life and socialists were and are always leading it.
