Thatcher brought the NUM to heel, and thank goodness stopped those bloody miners digging up coal nobody wanted or needed, just to keep themselves in work. She faced down the unions and her policies on closed shops, flying pickets and strike ballots were never reversed when Labour came to power.
And yes, she does deserve everything she gets, which is massive respect and the many honours heaped on her from all over the world.

Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill, the best Prime Ministers of the last century, and both Conservatives.
