We can argue all we want regarding Thatcher but a few facts to spring to mind.

The Miners strike was ruled by judges as ilegall if Scargill hadnt have been so war hungry for conflict with MT and held a proper legal ballot the chances are all the miners would have come out as one unit and the results could have been so much different!.

Scargill btw up until recently till he lost his case was still getting 34k a year rent for a London flat paid for by the few remaining NUM members.

Check out Tory Blairs net worth now compared to what Thatchers was,i know whos screwed the country most for personal gain.

Imho there arent many straight politicians but one major thing Thatcher did was go out on a limb and not try to butter things up like PMs since have done.
