if today she so hated why did she win 3 elections
I myself born 1986 so if coin the thrase was one thatcher generationShe polarised opinions
She was portrayed as detached yet she had tremendous political nose and used it
She was decisive
She was on top of her brief through burning the midnight oil and working very hard
She had great chemistry with Reagan and Gorbachev
She defined my teenage years
Because she took on the power of the unions and others in cosy little positions of wealth and power, did she get everything right, of course not but by heck she saved this countryif today she so hated why did she win 3 elections
I think she did the uk. Some goodBecause she took on the power of the unions and others in cosy little positions of wealth and power, did she get everything right, of course not but by heck she saved this country
I was late teens when she first won but I well remember all the strikes etc caused by the unions not wanting the same person putting the nut on the bolt for example, job demarcation destroyed british manufacturing, lazy and incompetant management didnt help though, how we could do with her nowI think she did the uk. Some good
She was tough and didn't like compromiseI was late teens when she first won but I well remember all the strikes etc caused by the unions not wanting the same person putting the nut on the bolt for example, job demarcation destroyed british manufacturing, lazy and incompetant management didnt help though, how we could do with her now
One of the great leaders of this nation.They do not come around very often ( sadly ).Oh that she could lead us now,how much better we would be.
There may not have been a referendum had she remained in power longer because she would not have put up with all the crap from the EU that Major, Kinnock, Blair and Brown put up with. Farage forced Cameron into a corner that the EU took advantage of but it was their intransigence that put the final nail in the coffin when it came to the vote.There wouldn’t have been a referendum. Farage would have been swatted away!
There is a former pitman has a caravan on a site in our local village and gets in the pub. Never worked a day since the pits shut, reckons best thing that happened Maggie shutting the pits. Don't suppose he admits that in his local back home.don't think there would be too many pitmen, shipyard workers in the north east that thought industry was better off after she finished,
The days of the pits and shipyards were numbered. Demand for coal was falling and ships were being built far cheaper elsewhere. Such was the effects of falling demand, unreliable labour force due to restrictive practices that industry would not and could not invest for the future. Once you have lost it it is very difficult to get it back. The Luddites of the industrial revolution were nothing compared to union behaviour in the sixties and seventies.don't think there would be too many pitmen, shipyard workers in the north east that thought industry was better off after she finished,
