So if Thatcher got it so wrong, and the ones that came after carried it on, how come the lying gobshite Blair and his tooth-sucking pal Brown, who came in on a ticket of "things can only get better" didn't get rid of her ideas, and put it back as was when you seem to think all was hunky dory? When she came to power, this country was teetering on the point of bankruptcy, just as it is now after a spend spend spend and sod the consequences labour administration has been in power too long again. Far from things getting better, they have got immeasurably worse since this government, which has got to be the most corrupt and inept in living memory, not even barring the Major years, came to power. Anyone who thinks otherwise, is either stupid - possibly even a product of their failed schools and education policies - or has been living on a different planet for the last 10 years.
Thatcher did what was needed at the time to pull this country back from a Labour created disaster. Of course not everything she did was right, and no sensible person would suggest otherwise, including her probably, but what she did do was right enough to save us from falling into an irrecoverable abyss.
Why is it that whenever anyone mentions her in regard of anything good that her administration did, out come all the selective amnesiacs, who only remember what they consider were her bad points ... ?
