Surely, Thatcher's main legacy is that of a promoter of the pernicious, neo-liberal, economic doctrine of the 'free market' - a licence for the privileged minority to thieve and rob from the rest of us. This self-serving nonsense has divided our society and led to accelerating environmental destruction (for a detailed analysis of this latter point, read Naomi Klein's recent book, 'This Changes Everything'). Of course, Blair also embraced neo-liberalism thus perpetuating and institutionalising Thatcher's evil legacy.
