I'd have preferred her to do nothing.I can't see how making a 'wrong' decision is better than none.
As for 'wrong' - her decisions weren't mistakes on her part, they were calculated to empower the rich and diminish the poor.
I agree, selling off the bullion was a stupid thing to do, but nothing compared to thatcher's programme of selling off the utilities, rail, etc and squandering the north sea assets with tax breaks for the rich.
I fail to see how this country improved under thatcher either economically or in terms of the (harder to measure) social costs that her grasping, aspirational agenda inflicted.
