@deadlypuissant Did you even watch the rest of the series? Britain had hit rock bottom before this woman came along. Inefficient industry, state ownership, unions that shut down the country at a whim and cost it billions. What she did needed to be done. Debt that came after is a different story. Marr makes a great point about her liberalization of people and markets: Relatively easy to understand what you're freeing them from, a little bit harder to know what you're freeing them for

@negvar The fuck are you on about, we have over a trillion in debt and our people rank one of the highest in income inequality in all of Europe. Who gives a shit if the pound is more stable than the Euro. Fact is British peoples standard of living is worse in all aspects than most prospering European countries and this partly from the legacy of Thatcher. She was a egoist. Apparently she respected Milton Friedman the great economist, too bad she never actually listened to him, it would of helped.
