What's the mood up north? Are people beeping their horns? They did when she resigned.
Milk Snatchers {Margret Thatcher took free milk off school children} policies decimated large parts of the UK, even today in lots of cases lots of those places have not recovered, she appealed to peoples greed and the foolish went with it particularly in England, she didn't get a majority in Wales or Scotland, she sold off the countries nationalised industries, the people owned the railways, the electricity board, coal board, shipmaking and steelmaking etc, Thatcher sold the family silver off, the silver belonged to the people yet it was sold to the priviledged few.
Thatcher caused a split in the country between the haves and the have not's, she deregulated the banking sector {look what the seeds of that has led too}, the deep recession and mass unemployment of the early eighties was a bad time economically for many, but as long as her tax cuts and selling off of the countries housing stock appealed to more voters than there were unemployed, old age pensioners and students and the like then she was safe to get back in at the ballot box.
Thatcher slashed taxes for the highest earners from 83% to 60% overnight and paid for it by raising VAT which is a tax on everybody [pensioners, unemployed etc], when Thatcher slashed the rate for high earners she only knocked down the basic rate from 33% to 30% for ordinary people, yet this was enough to appeal to peoples greed in many cases. Thatcher slashed benefit payments as well, which helped to further cause the divide between rich and poor.
Thatcher appealed to Middle England the Wanabees and the Yuppies, since she appealed to Middle England she beat the Labour party as was, forever, Labour discarded socialism and moved to the right wing to try and win back the Middle England vote otherwise they would never win another election, Labour died and the right wing NuLabour was born, her policies also had the effect of giving the main left wing nationalist parties in Wales and Scotland a huge boost in support turning them from fringe parties to main stream parties.
Thatcher was true to her principles, i must say that although i have the opposite political views to her, she only u-turned once in her long political career that i can remember when Plaid President Gwynfor Evans made her bow down and u-turn when he threaten to starve himself to death when she said she would go back on her word on a manifesto pledge, its because of Gwynfor we can watch free to air Welsh rugby on tv today.

People going to Thatcher parties should take a pint of milk instead of beer... or both

It is a bit odd, after all Manchester as a city has enjoyed almost uninterrupted football dominance ever since she resigned.

Fair play to LFF for including this graph (Welfare spending as % GDP) as as comment of Fatch's legacy:-
wasn't that down to mass unemployment, cost of benefits, etc, secret files now opened show she was planning to destroy welfare, etc..
