human beings are flawed, they are rarely all good or all bad. We needed someone to break the power of the unions at that time, and she did it. We needed some movement on the cold war and she did it. We needed some strength against the european community and she did it. We needed to be a more inclusive society offering opportunity to everyone, and she did it.

50 years down the line we can see consequences not foreseen, but that happens in everything. She lost her way in the latter years of her government, and that happens to every leader too. Every leader has a shelf life and they never know when they have passed their sell by date

Workers rights have been permanently affected to the point where austerity is now the norm and government can take 8k out of a bin mans yearly income, and other working class people will cheer it on.

She did nothing to sort out the cold war; that's just an insane statement. the cold war was broken by a thawing of relations between the US/USSR, coupled with the natural fall of a regime that had reached it's end.

Consequences not foreseen is such a wild cop out, and I'm not sure is true.

She did some good with Europe, that i will concede, but in no way is that the other side of the coin of the state this country is now in.

Destroyed the amount of taxes paid by the wealthy, which paid for free education. She sold off the social housing stock (without replacing it - continued by following PM's) which leads directly to the housing crisis we find ourselves in (not migrants).

Followed Reagans trickle down economics, which is the most provably damaging economic lie that we've ever been sold, and is still being sold to us to this day.

But yeah, shelf life and unforeseen
