shes a gonner

I agree with ray she did rule with an iron fist, she also saw off the Argentinian invasion of the falklands, I doubt a lot of other prime ministers would have had the guts to do that.

Those who are spouting how wonderful she was is needing s reality check. She decimated our coal and steel Industries, now we have to import both, unemployment peaked at 3 million due to her policies and 2 boom and bust economical disasters were her fault. Remember the yuppies who lost all their money hurling themselves off high buildings!! Even her own party got rid of her in the end as a liability and an election loser. Then we got John Major.

The only ones to benefit were the Falkland Islanders and the already rich who got even more richer.

Up here she used Scotland to experiment with her policies because we didn't vote for her she had nothing to lose. We got the poll tax and steel closures first!!

I get the feeling that I might be in a minority here, but if you grew up in the 70's, whatever class you were, you might remember the alternative?

Powercuts, the 3 day week, strikes all the time, rampant inflation, rubbish piling up the streets, the chancellor having to go to the IMF with a begging bowl because the country couldn't pay its bills.

Remember she was elected 3 times, and never lost an election. I'm not a big fan of labelling people with some "class" tag, but large numbers of "working class" people (whatever that means) voted for her over and over again.

She was also the last politician that I can remember who actually said what she believed. Agree or disagree, what you saw was what you got. We could do with a bit more of that.

So I'll be wearing a black tie tomorrow, and if anyone doesn't like it, they can kiss my @55.

One of our best!!!
