  Martin P - Very easy to blame someone else when things go wrong with a business. Think back to the news as it was then, maybe that business was not hit by strikes directly but what about companies and businesses it supplied and suppliers to that business. Not only strikes of course were a problem, the huge State subsidies to produce often shoddy unwanted products in excess with old outdated production lines riven with restrictive practises. Whatever you say the UK was in an appalling condition in 1979 and that had to change, Mrs T provided that change after the failure of Heath and the mismanagement of the Labour years. Sad that any company goes bust but it was likely to happen anyway as thing could not go on the way they were. She did what she had to and we are all far better off now as a result despite 13 years of another Labour regime doing all it can to screw up the economy.
