So you're not coming to the party then
She was that popular her own party kicked her out
It's just evolution over time. If you are never voted out others in your party are going to cause unrest.
read the thread
Perhaps you need to read the thread again, all that has been mentioned is that she stopped giving out milk.
What was the reason for the unemployment etc? I do have an awareness, I'm just interested to know from the people who don't like her.
Kind of proves my point if that's your sole metric.

Does no one remember Interest rates n 1989 15.00 % so yeah she did good didn't she
Erm, 15% interest would be great! At the current rates my savings are barely earning anything!
It wouldn't really in the bigger picture.
The day she does eventually die is going to be a circus tbh.

This is what makes me laugh about our parliamentary system. She probably didn't even come up with any of those policies yet everyone holds a vendetta against her.
Stupid policy think tank crap.

I don't want her to die, simply because I don't want to have to pay for her funeral, that and I want to see what happens when the Cabinet records and the like for the sinking of the Belgrano are released under the 30 year rule...

- There's a voice that keeps on calling me.
My problem with her, is what she did at the time in terms of the council house sell off, it created the era of mass greed that we have, and it decimated working class areas.
She killed manufacturing, making this country heavily reliant on the service sector, manufacturing is what generates true wealth for a nation, that said, something had to be done about the unions, but the iron lady was to iron sadly, and thats why we have the ****ed country that we do, its not the last labour govt that has screwed this country, its the Tory ideals that have. Just look at the roaring sucess that privatisation has been...........

She pulled the plug on industries that had been on life support for years, unfortunately she didn't follow that necessary act with support for the areas it most impacted.
She also broke the power of the unions, which could be considered good or bad depending o your ideological viewpoint. However the fact that Labour didn't reverse those changes once they got back in to power is quite telling.
There was also a massive fiscal correction that was pretty painful to live through. How much of that was Thatcher though is debatable.
A lot of the hate directed towards her though is purely inherited, get told often enough by your parents and peer group someone is evil and eventually you repeat it despite not really being able to say why.
Regardless I find those crowing for her death to be pretty despicable but entirely predictable.
The fuss around the sinking of the Belgrano always puzzled me. They sank an enemy warship during a war.
I wouldn't personally go that far (probably), but I understand the sentiment...
Now that is a man I can't wait until he is removed from his little seat of power.

They were only allowed to fire on enemy ships if they were within the Exclusion zone, the Belgrano was quite a long way from it, heading away, The Conquerer had no right to fire on it, and the only people with the authority to order the attack would have to be high up in the Cabinet, or PM ie Thatcher, When an inquiry into the attack was held, The logs for the sub had "mysteriously disappeared".
You from Argentina?
Exclusion zones are generally considered applicable to civilian ships only and whilst the Belgrano was heading away at the time the funny thing about ships is that they can turn around. Even the Captain of the Belgrano considered the attack as legitimate.
So?
Sometimes I wonder why this topic even pops up, some folks seem to want to immortalise this woman, others destroy her.
There is no importance for this figure any more, so frankly any news is just because of pointless emotion attached to her existence, like it somehow permeates whenever the News finds out she broke a finger nail.
If you truly hated her, you would ignore her being, the other side of the coin I can only say to find better things to do.
