not as many..
as Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have managed to do with their cavalier attitude to the realities of Global Economics and blind ignorance of total logic.

Maggie might have brought some union-led industries into the 20th century (where the UK had to face the reality that we can't compete with China and the like on heavy manufacturing AND have decent wages, etc - the reason stuff's made out there is the simple fact that people won't pay for goods at the costs it would to manufacture if fair wages were paid), but she didn't cripple three generations with paying back National Debt, take the UK to the same level as Botswana in Global Economic rankings, lose any willingness to stand up to the USA on Global issues and do more damage to the sovreign status of the UK than all the former wars we have fought...

So, I guess you'll vote for the one-eyed wonder on May the 6th, eh?

Yes, she made mistakes, but she also dragged the british car industry up to spec by persuading Nissan to set up over here.

You can pretty much divide the population into two groups;
People who want something for nothing who hate Thatcher.
People who work hard and love Thatcher.

Idle curiosity.
Just out of interest, how would you say the economy, etc. would have gone without Thatcher? A continuance of the 1970s?

If I was in charge...
I'd make Thatcher Day a national holiday with free beer to celebrate the day the evil bitch dies...

Fucking awful woman, mother of the 'Me' generation. And don't get me fucking started on her little boy.

I think that's the mindset which got us into the present financial mess
"The state will give lots of things away for free - someone else will pay for it later!"

"Oh, we seem to be bankrupt."

Wait
Who's been getting all this free beer then? Maybe I will vote Labour.
