Has Margaret Thatcher died?

1m+ council houses sold off, no wonder there is a social housing shortage
record unemployment under thatcher
stole from everyone, and sold everything off that was brtish

Funnily enough I was just going to edit to add that I disagreed with a couple of things she did, including YES...selling off of public housing stock...though would they now be filled with asylum seekers, etc ?

I also disagreed with stopping of free school milk.

The unemployment was always going to happen though, that was already in full swing.

I believe cheap Polish coal imports were partly to blame for pit closures, but again some short-sightedness on the part of the govt.

Just a pity the Miners (and I'm from a mining town originally) picked a particularly obnoxious character to speak for them, who eventually didn't actually do their cause much good, just as it may have been.

In true Labour style Scargill still managed to get his greedy snout in the trough and had a couple of big houses out of it.

On the subject of greatest ever trough feeders I heard a bit on R4 today Neil Kinnock campaigning on behalf of the socialist candidate for elected Mayor of London Borough of Tower Hamlets - a local 'gor blimey Cockney East Ender Mr Helal Uddin Abbas - interestingly enough Red Ken Livingstone risks being expelled from the Labour Party for supporting his rival, another local chap Mr Lutfur Rahman (George Galloways preferred choice).
