No one ever thinks of the misery and totalitarianism of what went before her, the bankrupting of the economy, the three day week.
there are many things that she did (in hindsight) that could have been done better, but most of these would have involved borrowing money (there was none) , for for example infrastructure investment.
I know its fashionable to resent her - "oh I am so caring, so liberal" but most of us especially contractors have been freed from the grasp of the state and its institutions to live our own lives and take our own responsibilities - which the liberals choose to call greed.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

If you were not living oop north during the Thatcher era then I'm sorry, but you have nothing to say.
I voted for her once. The 150 year-old factory I was working at then (which built the diesel power units for most of Britain's railway locomotives) is now a shoddy shared-ownership housing estate. There is literally no trace...nothing to show that there was ever a factory there.
We still buy plenty of diesel locomotives, but there is really nobody in Britain left to build them. We used to ship them to the world, but now we import them. like the third world used to do from us.Comment

How hard is it to understand? It is the Trade Unions, The labour governments and Edward heath's placatory wettishness that you need to blame not Thatcher. The Soviet Union collapsed for exactly the same reasonsLet us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
