The sad and troubling thing is, Thatcher’s unpopularity spiked publicly and "within" during the Brixton riots in 81 and the poll tax riots in 90 - if the striking miners and steelworkers had rioted en-masse in London instead of withdrawing their labour at great hardship to themselves and families, they’d probably have brought down Thatcher much sooner. Think this is a very fitting tribute to Thatcherism in more ways than one:     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDcoJN9fnVI

Brixton riots ?  how many thousands rioted ?

Poll Tax riots ? agreed it was a vary unpopular tax , the MP's were not going to get re-elected on the back of it , so they had to reform it , in some ways , and the country had lost their appettite for "great reforms "

I am quite sad at Maggies death , like everyone she had her good and bad , and because she was larger than life , her mistakes were greater .

But she was a great leader , a war leader , and a good many innocents were caught up in the trouble .

Britain had to change , and she was the one thta changed it .

 Those thta clebrate her death , do not really annoy me , its a free country after all . I would be more impressed , if those young folk satrted theor own businesses or worker cooperatives ? and started digging coal again , call it Fair Trade coal ?

 see how many put their backs where their mouth is , or rather theri facebook "likes " and "tweets " .
