Thanks NBC for a good overveiw, I left the UK in 85 so missed the end of her rule (and rule it was!), unlike alot on my side I recognised that the changes that came under her were inevitable, that said I think they would have come with or without her and in many ways her divisiveness was unneccersary,
Even at the time it was clear Scargill was a grade a moron and was going to lose, in fact I view Scargill as ultimatly the one responsible for the end of union power in the UK.
