Subject: RE: BS: Was Thatcher right?
NO!!

She was a ragbag of prejudices and most of what she did was about settling old scores. That she did some things that needed doing was a by product of that but she did it in such a way as to alienate large numbers of people.

She was perfectly prepared to tread on people and kick them when they were down to get her way. That is not the mark of a good leader.

Her legacy is a divided society with a great many people feeling excluded and it will take at least a generation to heal the damage.
