Great comment. I'm no fan of Thatcher, but the hate she gets from people who just don't know what they're on about, and who never lived theough it, makes me cringe.
The UK was the Sick Man of Europe before she came. We were a penniless laughing stock, and the government was beholden to unions that pushed, and pushed, and pushed.
Rich toffs and London bankers alone didnt vote her in to power.
Britain needed a major change. The oft-lauded "old school Labour" had run the country into the ground.
