I agree with al on she orchestrated the minor strikes and wanted in on the health industry...far to complicated to discuss but the ins and outs without nit picking were....  scargill was the voice of the minors and stood up to her now obvious ''working for her husband'' .As it ended scargill was found to be profiting from keeping the strikes going and had refused some very reasonable offers to keep most pits open...this is why he is a bad one.

She will have supporters still as she created the ''im alright jack'' society and some were ok,she was strong willed and she would not have let this country get in this mess....but she would have created a different mess and it would have been a horrible victorian country of wealth is power and those who are supporting her views today should be thankful she's not at the helm as her gang would also have taken everything from you had they wanted more (which they alwas do).

The real woman was a vindictive baby (her strength) and driven by greed ,mitzy posted early on and said she was a troubled woman...(good post) and yes she was, mainly because of a conscience.

I do not gloat over anyones death but all who think she was a good one will think churchill was a good one and she was not and nor was he. Blair and co worse ? ha, she was blair and co and the advertising media greed machine she installed into politics trundles on and lives worldwide keep turning off ..no state funeral for them .

Her legacy is same as blairs and bush and pol pots ..non  should  have been given power over others as non care one jot about others lives.

turn your back is harsh and for people who have caused misery, death and suffering to millions...I will turn my back on her.
