I have absolutely no time for Thatcher or the ideology of the party that she belongs to. But we should never forget that the many of the 'reforms' that she instituted came to full fruition under 13 years of a Labour government - who did very little to reverse them. There's no doubt that Thatcher, in representing money and greed, was evil but Labour, under Blair and Brown, were evil and hypocritical (and far too prone to bone-headed social engineering and illegal wars). The present government are just carrying on the Thatcher project with less hypocrisy and less silly social engineering. I suspect that we have the governments that we, collectively, deserve.
