    Here is some more home truth on the Thatcher legacy:
    This is how Britain's Economy went the way it did!:

    "It all suggests an economy built on the shifting sands of what Margaret Thatcher liked to call 'economic modernisation'; excitingly inchoate sectors such as finance, property, and now digital technology, that encourage unsustainable booms with huge rewards for those at the centre and growing debt for the sidelined majority. As a nation, Britain has gone from being the workhorse of the world to contributing just 3 per cent of global exports. Manufacturing now accounts for 10.2 per cent of GDP; down from 25.8 per cent in 1979."

    "unsustainable booms with huge rewards for those at the centre and growing debt for the sidelined majority."
    Just about sums it up!
