You don't know
wtf you're on about.
Most of you aren't old enough to remember how she took a country that every year was having days with power blackouts because the miners were on strike for higher and higher pay and brought it back to economic stability.
(Yes, I know they had a shitty job, but I had relatives at the coalface who were earning about twice what office workers, nurses, teachers, etc, were earning.)
Not everything she did was brilliant, but then she had to bring in things that a previous labour government had ratified through law. The poll tax for example... but I suppose you don't want to hear that.
No government is perfect, look at the present one and then work out how much extra you spend on food and petrol each week since last year, and the government can't be blamed for everything.
Talk to people in their 50's and above about the 'winter of discontent', ask them the first word that comes to mind if you say 'Fords at Dagenham', and ask them about how the unions used to hold the country to ransom.

I was one of the people who 'sufferred' under Maggie. I was unemployed for some of her time in office.
But when you can stay on your PC 24/7 rather than knowing your electric will be cut off for 4 hours a day, 7 days a week, don't tell me you've got it bad.
