"unbridled greed and total disregard for the good of the people as a whole."

Now that sums up the attitude prevalent in most 1970's Trade Unions - The same trade unions who attempted to hold the country to ransome and dictate to the duly elected parliament of the day. Those who disagree can regale us all about how idyllic things were in the decade before Margaret Thatcher won the 1979 General Election.

If you are thick enough to believe that one person invented and promoted and was responsible for "unbridled greed" in our fellow human beings then more fool you. Likewise the policies were continued and adopted by some of her most severe detractors because they work, they were necessary, they were definitely unpopular, but then that is what a real "leader" is supposed to do - provide leadership if even if the pill is bitter to swallow.
