Thatcher did not envision totalitarianism? Are you mad? She shut down the GLC because it was a power base for criticism of her. She revamped the entire TV franchise system to get back at Thames TV for the "Death on the Rock" programme. She loved a good gerrymander - as you would find out if it was possible to tear the truth out of her friend Porter now safely hiding behind the Israeli courts.

And as for reversing her policies, we are just starting to see the light (Blair at least remained Thatcher-lite) dawning with the culling of the "internal market" in the NHS, and the beginnings of a recognition of the need to renationalise infrastructure.

Within 20 years Thatcherwasm will be in the history books as as unsuccessful an experiment as abolition. Quite simply it leads all the faster to the predicted collapse of capitalism under the weight of its internal contradictions - which collapse started of course in banking and house ownership.

Abolition was however well intentioned. Bossy Roberts simply wanted to hand more power to the rich and to enslave the British people.

If the capitalist system continues, house and land prices must eventually rise to even higher levels - same amount of land, more and more people. That must eventually lead to another boom.
