The British economy was is a terrible state when she took over, and she turned things around. I think if she hadn’t been there we would be in a far worse state now than we are currently. Also she was a strong and decisive leader, something we could do with now. However having said that, she did a lot of bad stuff too!

robertthemoose14, I truly love when Europeans comment on things the rest of us don't know. I deeply appreciate it. I never cared for "The Iron Lady", and I always believed that her nickname was NOT for affectionate reasons. Teach us more that we've been deceived about European matters.

robertthemoose14, Not just in Wales. We lived in Gloucester shire and had to to emigrate to Australia before we became homeless thanks to her policies

robertthemoose14, Whether we liked Thatcher or not, she brought Britain out of very bad economic conditions and recession. And Britain benefited from her policies long after she created being Prime Minister. Many a Welshman was glad they never had to work down the pits again. As the Welsh say if something is very bad... "It was the Pits!"

Thatcher never closed mines.mines closed because of non production brought on by the emergence of gas central heating.It is illegal to use coal fire as it pollutes the atmosphere and rightly so no more smog

Giggle pig, she was the first woman to really bust into a so called Man's Domain. female leaders don't have it easy. they're fighting so many wars to get change.

STB, funny how split the masses are on the reform Thatcher brought about. I'm thinking the western world could use some of her policies instead of the corruption we are now facing. boils down to the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Our leaders are heading us for for disaster. We need to pay attention.

Demelza Poldark, the Welsh experiences?

From what I vaguely remember about President Ronald Regan years, it sounds very similar to PM Margaret Thatchers years. Very popular with some. Dispised by others. Very controversial.

The Iron Lady was well respected globally but noone tell another fun fact of her history being rivalry with Malaysia PM, Mahathir Mohamad during the time. How they become rival and aoon good friend between the prime minister where Malaysia government innitiated by Mahathir successfulyly buying stock market Guthrie on 7th September 1981.

Wow she was pretty !! I had forgotten and soooo smart too, she was no ones fool, I really admired and respected her and so did Ronald Reagan, some perpetuated the myth that Reagan and Thatcher had had an affair, no one really believed it, but people had fun with it, probably not so fun for his wife Nancy !!

Huh I didn’t even know who she is in the first place

Leaders like Thatcher and Reagan polarize people. Left wing people love to make personal attacks, often very nasty. I agree with the right. Inefficient practice might support some jobs, but an economy based on inefficient practice will eventually support no one.
The coal miners were dying of lung disease and costs were three times the financial cost of Australian or Brazilian miners.
There are similar comparisons to other industries.

I sure would like to know why Margaret Thatcher has so many naysayers other than just I don’t like her. What specifically did she do to engender such dislike?
