Anything I say at this point would be rather inappropriate.

That's OK, as long as you're thinking it.

She polarised the nation but managed to "save" the nation from the suicidal actions of the unions. Though you could be sure exactly what she believed in unlike the currunt crop of bandwagon jumping politicians

In many ways the unions were doing their job in protecting workers rights and wages. Look at how much better public sector employees have done over the last decade compared to the private sector where unions are weak and entire swathes of private employees have not had real wages increases since 2003. Yes the unions defended some pretty appalling behaviour but the country is not substantially better off for it. A few at the very top are doing very well but the vast majority are no better off in real terms than they were a decade ago.

She relied on a private sector credit boom to get the economy going and even now the current government are hoping for the same effect, yet the public are stuffed with lots of debt and so no wonder the economy has been stagnant for 5 years. So even if we have a new government in 2015 we will have a stagnant economy for at least ten to fifteen years as that debt is slowly paid off. Hardly free market economics as the entire economy has been roped in to bail out the banks. That is why we will have a stagnant decade.

Northern Britain already hammered
08-04-13
EVERYONE in Britain north of Birmingham is already very drunk indeed.

‘It’s a release is what it is’
Eyewitnesses said the drinking started within seconds of the announcement and was of a ferocious intensity.

Police in Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool and Glasgow have been told to take the rest of the week off as local authorities said they will tidy everything up ‘at some point’.

Nathan Muir, a southerner visiting Derby on what passes for business in the midlands, said: “I was in a meeting when someone spotted the news on their smartphone. The booze appeared instantly. I have no idea where it came from. It was like they had been waiting a very long time and were fully prepared.

“I would say they were all aggressively drunk within four to five minutes. I think it was the adrenalin rush, combined with the funnels.

“Anyway, I quickly felt as if I did not belong, particularly when a half empty vodka bottle whizzed past my head, before exploding against the Derby Enterprise Zone poster on the wall.”

He added: “As I made a dash for the car park, I was almost killed as a desk smashed through a second floor window and completely destroyed a Nissan Qashqai.

“Then this woman stuck her head out of the broken window and shouted, ‘lets find Tebbit and piss on his face’.”

A spokesman for Merseyside Fire Brigade said: “We’re going to let things burn. If we put it out they will just set fire to it again. Plus, we don’t want to seem like killjoys.”

Cameron said today that she saved this country.

He's right, she did.
The unions were way to powerful and disruptive, and she broke them. The public knew she was right. That's why Labour couldn't get reelected until they'd purged the loony union left from their leadership.

I don't know what she was thinking with the poll tax though.
