This is, of course, a sales-dominated website, so the conservative bias here is to be expected. I don't really want to argue for or against Thatcher, but I do want to argue for the people who despise her. (note: I believe that the unions were to blame for many issues, but I also believe that Thatcher could have handled the situation far more competently than she did).
Some comments I made on Reddit on the topic:
Try to empathize with those who despise Thatcher. Many of them have family who were miners, and thus had their way of life, their entire community, etc. destroyed. They put the blame on Thatcher. Whether or not it is correct to solely blame Thatcher is not relevant to the fact that people do hate her.
Whatever your field of work is, or whatever your father/mother/etc.'s field of work is, imagine that it were shut down by David Cameron. Imagine that this field of work sustained entire towns, and that those towns are now husks of their former selves
Imagine that tens of thousands of people lost their livelihoods because of this.
If you thought that one person had done this to you and your people, you'd be dancing in the streets celebrating his/her death as well. Sic semper tyrannis.
