Teribus, I congratulate you. All the things you've listed so comprehensively are the very reasons I voted for her. No doubt, on this very left-wing and sometimes spiteful forum, we'll get flamed to ribbons, but we have every right to express our viewpoint and to stand by it.
In my view, Mrs Thatcher saved Britain. It was losing money hand over fist, and we were descending into enormous debt trying to keep dead ducks afloat. It was extremely difficult for the workers in these industries, but it just had to be done. That's why I said above she was a very brave lady.
It's a total waste of time 'you lot' spewing forth vitriol at me, as I shall not be returning to this thread. I have better things to do on a bright Sunday morning than reading (no doubt) screeds of vituperative bile.
I just wanted Teribus to know I agree with his every word.
