Subject: RE: BS: Maggie Thatcher Day
I think most americans do not understand the damage this woman did to a large section of English society.
She used mass unemployment as a tool to hold down wages while her cronies were awarding themselves pay rises that would keep most people in luxury for the rest of their lives. Her paranoid hatred of the trade unions devastated two great British industrys. coal and steel, { withe the help of an American, Ian MacGregor , may he burn in hell ]. The money paid to MacGregor and the money spent fighting the miners was more than the cost of the miners wage claim.
Don't call us jealous because we do not like this person who devastated the lives of many many ordinary British people.
