I agree with you that it's unfortunate that some people seem unable to discuss Thatcher and her legacy without resorting to knee-jerk reactions.

It's worth noting that while Thatcher's policies were controversial and had some negative consequences, she also introduced policies that had some positive effects, particularly in modernizing the UK economy and creating new opportunities for growth and innovation.

And in this case, Starmer's comment about Thatcher being right to say "one rule for all" is a relatively uncontroversial point. The idea that everyone should be subject to the same laws and standards is a fundamental principle of democracy and the rule of law.

So let's not get so caught up in our emotions about Thatcher that we lose sight of the complexities of her legacy. And let's be willing to have a nuanced discussion about her policies and their impact on the UK rather than simply dismissing her out of hand.
