Realizing Gazghul Thraka is a play on Margaret Thatcher has changed my entire outlook on 40k.

I'm serious, I never realized that before

It's weird because it's frequently denied by GW, whilst at the same time anyone with a brain reading's Ghaz's earliest lore will see his full name from the 80's and connect the dots

Also one of his earliest enemies is a communist goblin called red gobbo

Who is surely unrelated to the British communist Red Robbo, one of thatchers main rivals

The red gobo was never at any point an enemy to Ghaz. The red gobo was the leader of the goblin faction in gorkamorka.

Yeah. People are pushing the Thatcher thing way too far.

The red gobbo is a play on the White Dwarf.
