    You're obviosly not old enough. But if Labour get back in, and we return to having our rubbish pilling up in the streets as we always do under long Labour terms, then you'll be hopeful that there's another maggie around the corner...

    She did what was necessary after long periods of massive labour spending, pointless job creation, and letting the unions have their way.

      I see the end result - most people have to work very hard in this country to make semi-decent living. You'd have to be as rich as millionaire Prawn to have a decent living, and even that will be in Swindon

            You are only to build your business because of her. This country was sliding towards being a totalitarian communist state until she came to power, so watch your lip.

                That's bollox - I owe far more to Nu Liebor for relaxing work permit system at the start of 2000 than her.

                  Without her there would have been no contractor market place let alone a system of financial markets that have enabled you to raise cash for your business.

                    As always, "Labour speaks for the masses", but in truth it looks after it's own, and only the selfish vote Labour.

                    Work shy useless "cretins" the lot of them.

                      Are you serious? Financial Markets existed BEFORE her and after - ironically my company did not raise money in the UK, why? Because there is no true high VC market here, banks ain't investing properly (speculation on markets does not count). So no - Mrs Thatcher did fk all good as far as I am concerned, effectively she did screw up this country even though electorally she benefited at the time.
