Thatcher's main contribution to this present topic was that, in her claim that there was "no such thing as society" she played a major part in the destruction of communities like the ones experiencing these present difficulties.
It is enough for me to remember that one of her her last political acts was to remonstrate on behalf of her friend and mentor, mass-murderer Augusto Pinochet and help him escape facing trial for crimes against humanity - nice lady, other than that!!!
