Oh yes she and Regan were the architects along with Murdoc of the 'casino economics' that led to the collapse of their own beloved free market system, for which we're all paying, as the political class have managed to shift the cost on to the ordinary citizen. And this deserves a minute's silence?

This is your own distillation of her premiership... and in my opinion a poor overall assessment of her impact.


It's also the opinion of the British people they voted her in three times on the trot.

A weak opposition will probably give Cameron the same record.

eltist ---- friedman economics , purposely turned uk into a service industry with huge unemployment.

tyrant - supported and befriended mass murderers ,pinochet,suharto .her involvement in the faklands is very questionable. she turned northern ireland into a oppressing police state.

murderer - anyone murdered in NI during her time can thank her reaction to civil rights oppressors for their deaths

Look - winning elections in a stupid, corrupt and deeply incestual two-party system means absolutely nothing. Bush 2, Reagan, Blair and Thatcher all had long reigns despite being deeply destructive and hated by the working class. It also says something about the opposition - Labour were completely toothless in the 80s thanks to awful leadership and a move to the extremes to distinguish their opposition. Also, people don't vote for PMs like they do Presidents - the parliamentary system is different and people vote party lines for other reasons than leader personality. Remember, a British political party can replace a leader from within (as happened with Thatcher) unlike their American counterparts. A lot of people stuck with the Tories in the 80s because the rhetoric sold and the deep effects of drastic politics took time to take hold. People, especially people en masse are stupid. By your logic you could say there must have been something good about Hitler as the German populace embraced him for a number of years. It doesn't wash!


Its called democracy what else would you have? you are right about labour in the 80's but most of you lot would want old labour polcies totally not what the electorate want hence labours shift to new labour.
