She set the wheels in motion so to speak. If she hadn't had ruined industry the banks wouldn't have the power they have today, they know there holding this country up and act accordingly
 
Move this Lee. It's better to have a debate like this in the Arms .Guaranteed to get too heated for public forum.
 
Zeb, do you remember what Britain was like in the 1970s, before Mrs Thatcher came into power?
 
You don't remember the 'winter of discontent' then, everybody calls Maggie but I can't actually recall many other PM's giving us anything better. 3 day working week, unions striking to show they ruled, I don't think we can blame everything on her.
 
I was born in 68, personally I liked her but on the other hand the wife was born in 62 and hates her for taking away her school milk. Either way RIP.

What industry? We were lazy and needed a kick up the arse.
 
She may have improved the south but she destroyed the north, people talk about 3 day working week. My dad was lucky to stay in work a lot of my uncles and my dads friends where not they had a 0 day working week.

It was a pretty rubbish time to be honest, and it probably defined my political outlook. Have a google of the three day week, the winter of discontent or the history of labour relations of that time.

I know that Mrs T is a pretty divisive figure, but its not fair to judge her until you have a feel for what the alternatives were.
 
I hate the woman. I watched everyone round me struggle to live whilst her and her mates enjoyed fine wine!

Liverpool stayed that way if not worse for most of the 80's/90's.
 
I think the 3 day week was brought about by a very strong union going on strike. This depleted the coal stocks which reduced the available electricity which gave industry a short time.

I lived in Scotland and Wales as I was growing up, but never Merseyside, so I didn't see it. I seem to recall that you had a rampantly left wing council in the 80s. What was his name? Hatton?
 
Although he wasn't actually in charge just the public speaker, he was bent as a nine bob note!
 
John Hamilton was the council leader at the time had to google that couldn't remember his name.
