I'm writing a paper on her at the moment for my Modern British History class, anyone have any comments on her "legacy" that would like to be referenced for my essay? 
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

She defeated the unions and liberated the industries from the abuse of trade union power. 
She helped bring an end to The Cold War.

Freeing up the stock market, beating down the socialist unions, making us feel proud to be British, privitising useless nationalised industries, encouraging a free market and making dosh.
But she did balls up with the poll tax.

The basis of poll tax might have stopped some of these swines having 7 kids that are funded solely by the state.

If you write an essay which includes things such as "Grendel, on North Stand Chat, believes that....", do you really expect anyone to take it seriously? If I wrote something that quoted people on a message board as a reputable source, I wouldn't take it seriously myself let alone expect anyone else to.

I think the
smiley suggests he wasn't being entirely serious.However, i do like the idea.
In contrast to the opinion of Barrel Of Fun, Withdean Wanderer indicates that Margaret Thatcher is a "bint" (14/03/08 North Stand Chat - Powered by vBulletin). However, he gives little reasoning for this opinion, so it can probably be considered both irrelevant and bollocks.

However, Barrel Of Fun's views may be tainted as he is rumoured to frequent the Milf threads, and as such may have had secret fantasies about Margaret Thatcher.

For the record, I don't think she was perfect, I was merely pointing out some of the positives, before the usual negatives appear. There are certainly a fair amount of people on here that would piss on her grave!

I admire her self belief, stubborness & theat she wanted to put the UK back on top.
I hate the fact that so many industries died a death here and a once great manufacturing country now relies on imports.

She was one of the team of chemists at J Lyons & Co who first developed soft ice cream.
Not content with inflicting that abomination on the public, she went on to destroy British manufacturing industry and inspired a new economy in which speculating in the future price of non-existent commodities gave opportunities to a bunch of spivs to become obscenely rich.
She sincerely believed that the "one-nation" philosophy of traditional Conservatism was "wet".
Her legacy is Northern Rock.

The manufacturing industry was always going to go down the pan wasn't it? We couldn't compete with the far east.
Is her legacy really Northern Rock? Whilst one claims that Britain is a much greater place nowadays, could that not be contributed to the foundations laid by Thatcher?

Bollox infact double bollox.
The manufacturing industry destroyed itself by pricing itself out of the market.
Abomination means freeing up the market so any entrepreneur could have a go. I take it the world would be a better place without the Bransons of this world.
Legacy of Northern Rock my arse - Northern Rock over egged the market the sad news was labour bailed them out when a private fiance buy out would have been better.
Shame on you LB she put the B back in British......................
Trouble is some people loath business success perhaps because they could not do it themselves.
