We are still suffering the after effects of Thatcherism to this day, although this so called socialist government we have now is slightly to the right of Thatcher.

The Falklands ? she sent British soldiers to their deaths to re-vitalise her flagging politcal carreer.

She had a paranoid hatred of trade unions, particularly the NUM, she paid a feckin American hit man to close all the pits and spent more money fighting the strike than the cost of keeping the pits open.

Everything which had a value was sold off to benefit Thatchers rich friends, which is why today we have total chaos in our public transport system and why OAPs sit huddled in several coats every winter because they daren't turn the heating up while the privatised utilities pay more millions to the shareholders.

I wouldn't like to see Thatcher die, I hope she lives to a great age, in pain and misery.
