Oh yes, wonderful, let's talk about the working days lost to labor actions and not the over one million newly unemployed workers. How many lost work days is that exactly? Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water. And speaking of babies, more than a quarter of Britains children lived under the poverty line at the end of her reign, a staggering number considering the relatively prosperous era of the eighties. Such wonderful conservative values she had.
She also rather consistently everyone fighting againsg government oppression as terrorists, most famously Nelson Mandela, and was a firm backer of the South African apartheid government.
As to "unafraid to do what she felt was right and was willing to pick a fight to do it", such a wonderful trait in a politician that is. Very George Bush Jr. like description.
It's always funny when people talk about "tough decisions", as if it was tough for Baroness Thatcer to decide that you know what, I want the people I know to have as much money as possible and the people I don't know can go to hell, and generally speaking I want everybody to do exactly as I see fit.
That is not a "tough decision", more like narcissism.
