Margaret Thatcher was the salvation of the United Kingdom. When she took over in 1979 Britain was considered 'the sick man of Europe'. When she was ousted (having never lost a general election) 11.5 years later, Britain had surpassed both France and Italy economically, and was by far the strongest nation in Europe. Shame all that was squandered by Blair and Brown.
Typical, the right wing editing comments! Maggie has ruined the togetherness of our country! The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, how can you agree with someone who squeezed the working class so much she broke them! F**k you maggie!
You really are a disgusting moron aren't you. If it hadn't been foreign people in the Empire willing to take up arms for a country they had never seen before, the history of the Second World War would have been very different.
The idea that wealth trickles down from the rich, earned and unearned to the poor is bullshit... figures have proved this.. They should be honest and say we are making the rich richer and the poor poorer. I have no problem with people making money and getting on... but the poor and working-class should get a slice of the cake, so to speak, as well....
All you socialists talk about how the North of England or unemployment...the North went to shit because the industries have become unsustainable and therefore had to be put out. Despite this, employment rose; those who sowed, reaped. There was no problem with people who were perfectly capable to work claiming benefits. The Labour party still clings on the ideas and policies Lady Thatcher and once they deviated, the country became 4 trillion pounds in debt.
I can understand people who disagree with her (though they're wrong in 99% of cases) but I can't understand the hate. She was a woman who truly loved the nation and was willing to do anything for it.
if you had lived through it you would know. hayekism is also behind the credit crunch. the uk changed from an all for one and one for all society where you could leave your door and car unlocked and turned into a dog eat dog world. On the battlefield the code is you do not leave your wounded mates. This was extended to society. Under thatcherism code you do. i can understand why many today in this fractured society don't understand.
Labour are a set of marxist twats

@Mickmars90 They took up arms because they were under our imperium: there was reward for service - they didn't fight with us they fought for us.
