Question time....on now.
Some young girl who would have been in nappies if she was even born when thatcher was in power, (25 years ago now). wow the vehemence in her voice regarding Maggie.
Give me some leeway here, when Maggie was in power I wasn't interested in current events
The things I remember specifically were......
Taking on the miners who were holding the country to ransome
Introducing the right to buy
Demanding and getting out rebate back from the eu
and trouncing the argies.
I'm not a conservative, these are the memories I have of the time.
I remember the car plants coming out at the drop of a hat and other unions flexing their muscles and Maggie taking them on.
Oh if she were only here to take on the bloated public sector !!!!!
(The Times recently stated that the main groups going in to the higher tax Bracket were teachers and policemen !)
So what were the real bad things Maggie did.....I lived through the times and I can't recall how bad things were under her !
Ps a slight aside ~ guess how many times Blair took this country to war .....? Before you google the answer. You might be surprised.
