Drastic times call for drastic measures, and she was not afraid to take them.

By contrast, during the 13 years Labour have been in power, this country has disintegrated to the point of collapse. Whereas Thatcher was admired around the world for her leadership, Brown is just a walking disaster area and a national joke. Brown will always be remembered as a laughing stock, and an ineffectual fool.

they worked for who? rich people? a lot of people who hate thatcher might have only been kids when she was around, but a lot of us come from areas that havent recovered since the miners strike, so we have EVERY RIGHT to hate thatcher

Thatcher managed to break the stranglehold of the unions (in particular the fat cats like Arthur Scargill) who were holding the country to ransom with wildcat strikes and preventing ordinary folk from going about their business. The mining industry needed to be cutback but the miners seemed to think they were a special case and that we should keep mines open for coal we didn't need. It's called progress.

As for the Conservatives being only for the rich people, who the hell do you think New Labour are for? Certainly not the working classes of this country, of which I am one. I am fed up with my taxes supporting the feckless and workshy, or those who have never contributed a penny into the system, while me and mine go to the back of the queue for everything because we are stupid enough to work and pay our way.

This outgoing labour government have been the most dishonest, sleaziest, criminal bunch of bandits we have ever had in power. For the Iraqi war alone, they should all be held accountable as war criminals. No Brown is not THE worst PM ever, I would give that accolade to Blair. Brown is the worst
UNELECTED PM ever.
