Yes, welcome back George xxx
I have no idea what Thatcher thought of herself and would I want to? What ever she thought, to me, she was a foolish ( to be kind) destroyer - we still live with the legacy
She closed down all of the Mental Hospitals and threw the patients out on the streets ( care in the community) she did the same with all of the hostels for homeless man and women. She began the privatization of NHS services - She hated local gov and carried on driving the bulldozer through them. There are other destructions from her time which I now realise were due EU Directives but she didn't help relieve any pains and she also saw to the end of Industry throwing millions out of work.
She did though try to curb mass immigration which Blair overturned because whatever ones ideology no gov can plan for huge numbers unknown.
It is an odd thing now, I've never voted Tory but shall this time for Boris's imperfect deal because there is no other - I keep finding myself on the same side, in arguments, with Thatcher admirers - it is an odd experience
