My view is she did a good job in taming the unions. They needed bringing under control and the Labour party couldn't do this.
However, the UN could have sorted out Argentina without all that loss of life, on both sides.
She has set the anti-EU culture. I would have got stuck in and changed it from within instead of standing on the outside complaining.
But, did she really need to decimate our mining industry. All those men put out of work and whole communities devastated. She was right to stand up to Scargill but not to take revenge on the miners. We now buy cheaper coal from places like Poland. But if you add the cost of putting a whole industry out of work, just the financial cost, not the human one, it may well have cost more over the long term.
On first thoughts the community charge (poll tax) seemed sensible. Until you realise the a house with an elderly widow would pay the same as the same house with mum, dad and 4 kids working and earning.
The serious biographies will be published over the next few months and I will buy one and see what their conclusion is.
