had she done so she could well have privatised everything past Luton.
wasn't she the one that blew all the North Sea oil cash on bribing people with the right to buy their council house? And then had to raise VAT to make up for the short fall in revenue....I could be wrong though as I was in Canada at the time.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

First of all - You are right about the aircraft carriers, purely for show. Estimated survival time during a conflict with say China - about 20 minutes. Subs still worth it though.
Secondly - You are right about the North Sea oil revenue - Ask Norway about their trillion pound sovereign fund, set to generate revenue for the nation....forever, we are already suffering from the fall in revenue from reduced oil production (offset at the mo by ridiculous price/keg..)
Thirdly - Had to do something about the unions but wrong to chuck out all the manufacturing with them and to destroy communities to make the point. Again - look at how the germans seem to be able to make stuff still.
Apart from that.....she done well.Comment
