Thatcher did you a favour- would have cost you more than it has if she allowed that mess to carry on.
Trouble is- Unfortunately you will never know or realise how bad things would have been without that action.
I am so glad that Mrs Thatcher..............................

Thatcher only did favours for the rich and greedy of this country....no one else.

Proper order. Release them into the world of free enterprise and market forces where you sink or swim.
Nonsense.
It was Brown who had supervised the final deregulation of the banks, which even the High Priestess of Capitalism herself, Lady Margaret Thatcher, dared not do.

Again absolute nonsense. She was voted in three times and it wasn't the tiny minority of rich and greedy who put her there.
27million days lost to strikes in 79 with the dead unburied and streets running with rats from rubbish not collected for weeks.
Union leaders allowed to bring the country to it knees by a show of hands that no matter how many didnt want to strike the union leaders done it anyway for there own egotistical reasons .
Someone had to do something to save the country and thankfully she did.

Nonsense.....it was Thatcher in 1986, the Big Bang, deregulating the city....and we are now paying for it!!!!
and where are we getting our coal from now...and at what cost, another mess left behind thanks to Thatcher!
Rubbish
Sinco .
Yeah we are importing it but even after all the shipping costs its cheaper and the supplies have never been disrupted the miners like the steel workers killed the golden goose by the sheer stupidity of its leaders and short sightedness of the workers

Why is it always Thatcher fault? Even under Harold Wilson 1 pit closed every week
264 pits closed between 1957 and 1963. 346,000 miners left the industry between 1963 and 1968. In 1967 alone there were 12,900 forced redundancies.
Falling production, falling employment, falling sales, and increasing subsidy; that was the coal industry Margaret Thatcher inherited.
She did not swoop in and kill perfectly good industries out of spite. Industries like coal and steel were already dead by the time she was elected. Thatcher just switched off the increasingly costly life support which had kept these zombie industries going.
Thatcher had a personal war against the miners, a sign of strength with nothing to do with economics, it was political...anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.
She could have privatised the farming industry too, an industry that was massively subsidised, more than the mines, and brought in cheaper imports? But that would not have suited the government at the time.
But she decided to continue with her personal war against the miners, closing even profitable pits, leaving massive communities with unemployment at over 60%, and what did she do to help these communities.....NOTHING!!!
We are talking about lot more than the mining industry.....she was an evil woman who was obsessed with greed.

OK so theres a lot of recent history, hotly debated politic's here, so who would you vote for next time around, another lot of carrear politicians or abstain in disgust???
