    Well I changed my mind - opened a bottle of bubbly just to mark her passing and I wasn't toasting her only her demise.

    Did she make mistakes..YES...

    Did she go too far in the end....YES..poll tax nuts

    What people forget (or too young to really know) is that she came to power in a LANDSLIDE victory.  The country was broke! Bodies in the street.........People seem to forget the union's who would not let people work often enough to get a wage...and working people were saying that!  People forget or simply not around to know about the loony left / champagne socialism that was there! I feel as bad as any one for mining communities but what about the Union's that could not tell Sh%t from clay and would not negotiate modernising, just wanted another all out, no need to ask it's member's .....................................and bring yet another government down. I don't remember one new owner of their council house complaining. OK housing problems now but how many were added during the many prosperous years after her? None! 

    The country needed a shake up and she left it prosperous...........   Mistakes have been made but not all by her! 

    I sometimes think we all need to take a step back....Where did any of us buy our last HI-FI system? Any regard to where it came from or who was making it for how much? We all continuously just drive prices down, no regard to welfare at time of purchase! I am as guilty as any one for that!

    RIP
