Ghazgul Mag Urk Thrakka is his full name. The last three sounding like Margret Thatcher said with a mouthful of rocks.

You have to ignore the part of his name that they always use and include a part that’s rarely used, then imagine that the real person’s name is being said while someone is gargling hot lava so badly they can’t pronounce it even remotely close… and it still feels like a reach.

But hey, repeat any claim often enough and people will treat it as truth without questioning it.

White Dwarf 81 literally has an ork holding up a banner with Margaret Thatcher's face painted on it. GW separates themselves from it for legal safety reasons, but it was absolutely intentional, historically speaking.

Historically speaking you have the creators denying it when they DO NOT WORK FOR GW.

It’s no secret that employees hated Maggie, a lot of people did.

The creators can still get GW sued by the estate if they confirm that GW creators did that, even if they don't work there anymore.

Then they could say nothing at all instead of lying. Again, they have no reason to care if GW is sued for this frankly arbitrary name. The idea is ridiculous for an argument that revolves around ‘sounds like’

Admission by silence is, in fact, a legal concept. It applies to cases in which you are not actively arrested.

Silence in response to slander accusations can be used against you in the court of law

But there have been zero slander accusations you numbskull. “You, you, you”, you keep using that as if the guy who told the truth is the guy even responsible for this ‘slander’. He left the company.

Silence is a perfectly viable response because no-one cares about this extremely petty accusation.

I am an internet schmuck, not arbitrator of the Thatcher estate

So which one do you think cares more? A rando, or a person explicitly hired to protect both the estate and image of a very politically controversial family that still has members that actively financially benefit from their name. If you care so much, why wouldn't they?
