I think that Thatcher did real and lasting damage to our country through her fervent embrace of 'free market' dogma. This semi-religious bullshit has then been equally fervently embraced by her successors. Now our manufacturing industries have all been flushed down the toilet, our high streets are full of estate agents, charity shops and takeaways, and not much else (not to mention jam-packed full of millions of cars because even f*cking budgies have the 'freedom' to own a car and pollute the environment with it nowadays!). And property developers cram every available inch of open space with 'luxury' houses and apartments which ordinary people can't afford to buy. Marvellous!
