The greatest British Prime Minister in my lifetime, no doubt about it.
The youngsters who criticise her haven't got a clue.
Before Thatcher union membership was compulsory in many companies. There were no strike ballots, strikes were conducted at the will of the union furhers and not participating would result in death threats or even actual murder. How would you like to work in a place like that huh? As most essential utilities were in public ownership they had the whole country over a barrel.
If telephone bills were too high or the service was shit, too bad! It took at least 3 months to get a telephone intalled and there was only one telephone company which offered a choice of 3 colours of standard telephone in black, white or beige. If your electricity keeps going out, unlucky! You can use our electricity or none at all sucker! Only one gas company so if your boiler breaks down we will come around and fix it in a week or two if you are lucky and we don't go on strike. The UK left fought tooth and nail to keep it like this and still hate Thatcher for defeating them.
Almost unbelievable now, it sounds like Zimbabwe but I am not exaggerating. The country was effectively being governed by vicious, unelected demagogues. Most of our industry shut down as a result.
Bankers have nothing on those guys when it comes to evil. If the government didn't do as they were told by the unelected union dictators they would just shut everyone's electricity off.
The UK would be reminiscent of pre 1989 Poland by now if she had not been PM. This is why she won an unprecidented 3 elections in a row, each with higher proportion of the vote than the previous election.
As for the leftist they long for days when they could live like kings in their mafia fiefdoms with zero social mobility and a captured population of proletariate.
We could do with another PM like her right now. Unfortunately all we have to choose from are spineless wretches.
