Well, the cretino-lefties are really out in force on this thread, aren't they, spattering the vitriol of their hatred for Maggie far and wide, like some demented five-year-old with a water-pistol? And very unattractive it is.

And yours seems to me most unattractive of all, Richard Bridge. You say, "Thatcher set out to make the rich richer and the poor poorer," so I conclude that you are stupid as well as hateful, because it was obvious that the rich got richer and the poor got richer. Sure, you can find exceptions, but there are exceptions where the rich got poorer as well as where the poor got poorer, and if there are more of the latter, that is perhaps because the poor so greatly outnumber the rich. But you can't turn history on its head just to suit the chip on your shoulder.
