The worst thing she did was back down on the Poll Tax.

When she was in office I was a young daft naive lefty.I can well remember saying I would go and get pissed to celebrate when she died. Having now grown up (just a llittle bit) and learnt to live in the real world, I see it quite differently.
I still disagree with some of what she did and I also think she should have done some things she didnt,but overall I have no doubt that she was the greatest peacetime PM in living memory.
The country could definitely do with her running it now.We would never have got into this mess if she had been in office.
R.I.P. Maggie. :(

Couldn't agree more Albs  :y :y :y

Greatest PM since Churchill, we need someone of her caliber at the wheel now. No doubt get as many haters, but would get done what needs to be done.

RIP  :'(

Without doubt, the best PM is living memory. Not like the media cock sucking morons we've had since.

Lets look at what good she did (or tried to do):
Mullered the unions, which was essential - if anyone had family in the nationalised industries in the 70s, they'll know why.
Poll tax (OK, she failed on that one).
Falklands.
Cut out a whole sackload of waste in the government departments.
Got good deals in the EU

All this stuff has been squandered, and more besides, but subsequent spineless morons. So now we have unsustainable burdens of NHS, Education and Welfare, with no value for the money spent. Massive bills into the EU. A deficit that will take generations to pay off, even if we could stop the overspend right now. The highest VAT rate the country has seen. Its a mess that needs a PM with super sized gonads, which rules out all the current wannabes.

In the process of enhancing their own political careers, and not in the interests of the country.  Look what happened to the Conservative after that! ::) ::) ::) ;)

Also brought the USSR together in talks with the USA that led to the end of the Cold War and communism in Russia. :y :y
