As someone who works with a group of ex Miners, today has been quite funny.

I'd have gotten into a fight I think...

Arent you from around Liverpool?Id imagine the reaction to it would be the same around there, if not worse after the leak of her involvement with Hillsborough.

The country is literally divided on her. The South tend to love her, with the odd hate patches (Wales). The North tend to hate her, with the odd love patches. She had great moments and terrible moments. 

 

• Her handling of the Falklands could have been better (It could have been avoided altogether), but overall a victory. 
• Hillsborough. 
• She destroyed communities and families. 
• She didnt care about the working class. 
• Had huge unemployment rates.
• She took us from being one of the poorest countries in Europe to being the 3rd(?) richest in Europe.
• Poor handling of schools.
• Very poor handling of the NHS.
• She destroyed the British Manufacturing Industry. Coal, Steelworks, Shipyards.
• Privatized British Utilities. Water, Gas, Phones, Electricity. Part of the reason why costs are so high now (Particularly Gas)
• DIdnt take no shit from anyone

Like I said. Good points and bad points. 

 

Don't forget the poll tax that was a beaut, I won't celebrate her passing but I certaintly won't mourn her either, did some good  for the country depending on where you was on the social scale and location.
