I didn't agree with all of Thatcher's policies, but she had BALLS.
When she took over from Labour inflation was running at 25% and unions were demanding increases in wages of up to 35% without being willing to change restrictive working practices.
SOMEBODY had to drag the country back into the 20th century.
At that time I had just left the Civil Service (where I was also local union rep) and gone into commission-only self-employment.
So I can see both sides of the argument.
The problem was, the country didn't need arguments, it needed to wake up and realise that the rest of the world were leaving us behind.
