Thread Name: BS:Thatcher's Legacy
Subject: RE: BS:Thatcher's Legacy
I liked the Iron maiden cover myself.Don't forget the toads who slavered at her feet and proped up her policies and implimented them to the detriment of the rest of us. They should all be remembered for what they did and said. Then John Major who followed on with the same style. Conference speech..."New age travellers, no way, not in my day". That gave the police and local councils carte blanche to ill treat, threaten and harrass especially following on from their actions against lawful picketing. Who introduced sequestation of union funds?.Why? To weaken and stop union action so we have gone back a hundred years in the way employers treat the labour force.She didn't invent the greed culture, but she sure as hell helped it along with an almighty shove.

The problem is we are impotent against the machine now and that is part of Thatcher's legacy.
