    I was a young newly-wed in South Wales during Maggie's Britain. She is not remembered fondly here. She destroyed entire communities, not just by closing the mines and steelworks which left thousands out of work, followed by the inevitable loss of local businesses which closed when the region's economy imploded. The problem was that she never replaced those industries with anything else. The mine owners were compensated but the miners had the rug pulled out from under them. More than 40 years on, the Valleys are still lagging behind the rest of Britain.
    Oh, and selling off council houses was a great idea for a lot of people. But that social housing stock has never been anything like adequately replaced, despite a growing population and homelessness problem.
    Both the result of Tory get rich quick thinking, no thought for the future. She had some ideas which were popular at the time, but failed to think them through to their consequences. And she inspired a brand of selfishness, a philosophy of greed and consumerism, which still blights the country today, evident in the behaviour of the current Right Honourable Usual Suspects.

    • @lollykins12

      A lot of those mines where loss making entities...people don't talk about that. I agree she could have done more to provide more opportunities once they had closed but she wasn't perfect....who is. She also enabled a lot of those people to own their own houses

      while I agree that she should have done more to help ex-miners, it's not fair to blame her for our current problems. She did what she thought was right at the time, and was elected three times for it. She made some mistakes (who hasn't?) but she was still a better leader than anyone in the parliament today.

      Total working class,chip on shoulder rubbish.....and I am working class! Maggie Thatcher helped those who wanted to get on ,whatever class they were.If you chose to wallow about the mines closing for decades that is your issue. Why didn't YOU do something about it,instead of blaming the government? My dad did. He was a redundant steel worker who clubbed together with 3 mates to start a small engineering firm,whilst others sat in the working men's club all day,slagging off Maggie Thatcher and toasting Arthur Scargill.....who engineered and caused the strike.You cannot rely on the government for everything.

To be honest they are struggling even more wrt health care, nutrition, housing, employment and the cost of living. We live in hope that all our people will open their eyes and realise the past is not responsible for the perpetuation of their current, impoverished lives. Greatings from South Africa 🇿🇦

    Thatcher was a high handed, mean-spirited, and belligerent individual who peddled an demented political and economical ideology of cutting taxes for the rich, cutting government assistance for the poor, and cutting regulations for the banks and corporate businesses, in the misguided and obsessed belief that it would lead to economic growth.
    Instead, it has caused high public debt, extreme poverty, and wage inequality, which the UK is still struggling with today.

      She was absolutely right. So some research into the utter mess that Labour led the country into in the late 1970s: inflation at 25%, top marginal rate of income tax at 87%, mass industrial action by militant trade unions (Winter of Discontent, 1978-79), the state ownership and subsidisation of massive sections of the British economy. The loony left needed to be stopped and she stopped them. They’re still bitter. Losers.

    • @Celisar1

      What her politics caused was Britain’s transformation from the poorhouse of Europe into one of the wealthiest countries in Europe.
      Before she came Britain was practically ungovernable in the suffocating grip of unions and subsidising dying industries.
      I don’t agree with everything she did but without her the UK would still be a near failed state with its citizens easily recognisable by their horrible teeth as it was back then.
