..and I know she was terrible 99% percent of the time. What I meant was that often you see people flaming her that don't particularly know much about the history of what she did or why she was terrible, most of the time it's "dur dur dur marget thatcher is evil dur dur dur"

but at the time I didn't know what a politician was.
So, for the reasons you state, I wanted to look into why 'MT evil, dur dur dur', so asked around; looked into it, etc. etc.
There were strikes, low productivity as a result, an inefficient and costly mining industry that wasn't benefitting the economy.
Then there's the strikes in response to poor policy; the blatent discrepencies in the accounting that justified closure of the mines, and generally very, very poor economic theory and practice from the Conservative party at this time (Milton Freeman, how wrong you were) - economics added on at the end in order to justify power-plays in politics.
My conclusion: If she had a cock she'd be a tosser.
Also that a lot of the union leaders were trying to be their own little socialist revolutionaries, with all those union subscription fees going to their wonderful offices and downright control of the labour market - little Stalins in the making a lot of them.

mr woodley, for one , is still in that mould much to the detriment of those who still pay a weekly fee.
he is a cock.

just surf down this board for people's 'bold and unqualified' statements about people or eras that they don't know; I guess it's only human nature to speak boldly
I'm off to photograph Leopards tomorrow afternoon, so ultimately couldn't now care; though I know what you mean :)

took me the nineties to figure out I was unhappy with the person I was, and then all of a sudden the beauty of animals did it's thing, and I have felt better as a human ever since

Need I say much more; though to be honest lots of us couldn't give a fuck about men wearing make up, and played far to much Dungeons and Dragons, which didn't seem bad to be honest; we hit that 'uncool' category, I will always be happy to embrace
