Original Note:
The post's claim that Margaret Thatcher killed Bobby Sands is false. Bobby Sands died from "self-imposed starvation" after a 66-day hunger strike, as stated in the coroner's report. He had access to food but chose not to eat. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1981/12/01/Jury-rules-on-Maze-hunger-deaths/4270376030800/ https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/philosophy/article/abs/suicide-and-selfstarvation/314A769BFAB434F3CC1E2AAAC43BD68C https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-56937259
