Thread Name: BS: The last days of Thatcher
Subject: RE: BS: The last days of Thatcher
Strange though how little Thatch was liked by her own party. Most of the policies were quietly dropped rather than noisily 'rescinded'.

They knew bloody well she was a wrong 'un.

I wonder which pearl of genius Teribus values so highly....the monetarist economic policies that closed down 30% of manufacturing capacity in her first 18 months, the handling of the hunger strike which handed Ulster over on a plate, the national curriculum that had inner city kids who couldn't read and write studying two foreign languages and Shakespeare (because Keith Joseph did that at his prepper)...........the sacking of really good men like John MacGregor, and the preferrment of lickspittles like Gummer.

Perhaps Teribus has fantasies about her being his nanny and giving him a spanking. Can't think what else it could be.
