Subject: RE: BS: Where now Thatcher haters?
No Bridge, she wasn't evil she was given free rein to act out her fantasies. That's why opposition has the longer title of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. Because all those centuries ago, it became recognised that policies require scrutiny. Th*tcher was given an easy ride by honourable principled but ultimately weak Michael Foot and well meaning modernising but not trusted by the people Neil Kinnock.

Hello Sailor! Goodbye Sailor! Come back when you have read and understood the study paper.

Speaking however as a dirty rotten stinking capitalist, er.....    Actually, it was better for the economy to subsidise British Coal and British Steel. Even good old all American yee haa! McGregor who she brought in to close them accepted that the knock on effect of keeping the coal and steel communities in work more than covered the cost of subsidy.

But as I said before, in her eyes there was no such thing as society. So as the pits closed, government investment in the areas could be seen not as pump priming communities but building new and larger courts, prisons and police stations. Oh, and saving money by putting benefits offices and job centres together. Always a bit suspicious of peverse incentives.......

So, as I said above. So long as her tomb has a sprung dance floor I'll be happy.
