    OK the GaryC...

    To follow your lead. #32....

    =======Sold off all the council houses so that working class families can't get decent housing these days and are forced to rent from Slumlords at high prices========

    Extended home ownership to millions who previously thought they would never be able to own their own home.

    ========Sold off the Utility Companies to Private owners so that now pensioners freeze to death in winter because they can't afford the expensive fuel prices charged by these profit-hungry monstrosity companies.========

    Extended equity ownership of businesses to the masses. Turned state liabilities delivering appalling service at a high cost into tax-paying and profitable companies. The world market determine prices ultimately whether nationalised or not.

    ========Stopped free school milk==========

    That old chestnut, I agree - more important related failure of hers was education. She did not manage to break it free from the left wing educational cabal that has so damaged it for decades.

    =========Poll Tax/Council Tax (making everyone pay a huge chunk of their income to the Local Authority in Tax with no regard as to their ability to pay this)=========

    An good concept (I actually chaired a think tank that advocated such a change in the very early 80's...) but one that was poorly introduced and strangled by the beaurocrats dooming it to failure.

    =========Decimated our Heavy Industries costing millions of jobs - at the height of her power there were 3 million unemployed!!==========

    Hah - you have this the wrong way round. She had to end the unsustainable subsidies that doomed many British industries that served only to hide unemployment and damaged the economy. These subsidies had to end and it was a brave and right thing to do and was essential to rescue the economy from being the sick man of Europe. That unemployement was caused by those subsidies in industries largely plagued by militant trade unions.

    ===========Destroyed the Trade Unions, robbing the working man of the right to stand up for himself.=======

    Tamed the extremists and bullies of the Unions and gave control to the members. In so doing reduced strikes and brought people back to the real world.

    ==========Turned this country from a place where people lived in strong communities with a sense of culture and heritage into a capitalist hellhole where everyone is laden with debt, morals and tradition has gone to the dogs and no one gives a sh*t about each other and only cares about credit cards and consumer crap.=========

    Shook off a socialist hellhole with an economy going down the drain to the status of Albania. Rebuilt the economy based on enterprise and economic freedom, restoring prosperity and generating more employment at a time when many women were coming onto the employment market for the first time. Ending up with record number in work. Advocated thrift and savings, living within your means as befits the daughter of a middle class grocer.

    =======Maggie is the reason this country is in such a mess today. Evil horrible woman, she's hated by everyone except the businessmen who made money under her.=====

    A wonderful lady, the greatest Prime Minister of the 20th century who achieved a massive turn-around in the UK. The bile and hatred directed at her by the Unions, Labour supporters and other left winger are a measure of what a great and successful leader she was. We need her like again./

    ==========Ended the change of people gathering together and protesting against authority. She destroyed bodies of people who could mass together and threaten power.========

    Only in your imagination. Perhaps it is the realisation from these people that it is not a matter of them and us any more and society is what they make of it through the conduct of their own lives taking personal responsibility.

    =======She destroyed the ship builders, steel workers, coal miners and the trade unions. Divide and conquer was the plan, open up the boarders and encourage racial and cultural conflict. We have become too busy fighting amongst ourselves now to bother about the government sha--ing us left, right and centre.======

    Ship-builders, steel fabrication, coal mines all destroyed by subsidy and trade union extremism. Stood up for Britain but, one other failure was not pulling us out of the EEC(EU) - when she did speak out she was undermined and brought down by the old-guard of Tory Euro-enthusiasts now thankfully neutered.

    There you go Gary - a good try.
