Tory! Tory! Tory! The Road to Power - 6/7

Part two of a series exploring the history of the people and ideas behind what became known as Thatcherism.

When Thatcher became Prime Minister, the monetarist policies used to combat inflation created large-scale unemployment and weakened the unions. As riots broke out across Britain, there was growing dissent even inside the government. How would Mrs. Thatcher survive her plummeting popularity?

The 1981 budget didn't go far enough.......

@freethehuman she brought it to 4% in 1983. you conveniently left that part out.

Why doesn't it mention the fact that Thatcher inherited inflation at 8% and brought it to a peak of 22% in 1980 (along with negative growth, high unemployment, huge bankruptcies), only getting it down to 1979 levels in 1982?
