She ignored her cabinet ,pegged the uk pound to the German mark in the ERM, then sat back as the country imploded under to high interest rates
And she set in motion a coulter of greed still praised to this day by the likes of Barry and watty.
She did achieve one thing,, she tainted the conservative party so much they will never recover in most parts of the country
She gave a safe haven to a mass murderer.
And she sunk the bellgrano ,,and they hadn't even paid us for it.

BarryW.
Nice try but it will not wash.
The truth is coming out now and along with the Orgreave Enquirey, the true story will be revealed and she will be seen as the true "enemy within" that she was to our communities.
This is where we will see your true colours.

1984
This is a strike which should never have happened. It is based on a very serious misrepresentation and
distortion of the facts. At great financial cost miners have supported the strike for fourteen weeks because
your leaders have told you this......
"That the Coal Board is out to butcher the coal industry.
That we plan to do away with 70,000 jobs.
That we plan to close down 86 pits, leaving only 100
working collieries."
IF THESE THINGS WERE TRUE I WOULD NOT
BLAME MINERS FOR GETTING ANGRY OR FOR
BEING DEEPLY WORRIED. BUT THESE THINGS
ARE ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE. I STATE THAT
CATEGORICALLY AND SOLEMNLY. YOU HAVE
BEEN DELIBERATELY MISLED.
Ian MacGregor
Chairman of Coal Board
June 1984
Ian MacGregor died of a heart
attack in April 1998. Thatcher
said in her tribute to him, 'He
had a tremendous way of
putting things'.
Yes it's called lying through your teeth!
