Oh dear, Maggie Thatcher, she left office 27 years ago and the usual clowns here are still whinging about her. Since she left power we have had: 1990 to 1997 - Conservative Government 1997 to 2010 - Labour Government 2010 to 2015 - A Conservative- Liberal-Democrat Coalition Government 2015 to Present - Conservative Government And not one of the policies of the 1979 to 1990 Thatcher era have been reversed - No renationalising of the railways who now carry more efficiently and with greater frequency more than double the passengers than they did in the days of strike bound "jobsworth" British Rail. No reopening and resurrection of the mining industry that cost the British taxpayer millions each day to bail out. We do now have a Labour Party that has been hijacked by todays version of Militant Tendency that has proposed such reversals offering a manifesto that they claim is "fully costed" at £48.6 billion yet would appear to financial experts to be underestimated by somewhere between 150% and 200% Margaret Thatcher took the country on as a complete and utter basket case (What Conservative Government has had to go cap in hand to the IMF for money just to stay afloat?) and completely turned the situation round - yes it was a painful journey but that appears to be the required task of any government who takes over from a Labour Government. In 1997 Tony Blair and Gordon of Cartoon took over from a Tory Government who handed on a nation in good economic state. This pair in the course of the 13 years they were in power handed over the Treasury with a scribbled note which read "No money left". If Corbyn ever gets in it will be ten times worse.
