Can any woman do any worse for any country that what Thatcher did for
Great Britain? :-(

She did what Hitler tried to do, bring the country to its knees. :-(

Much as I disliked her as a person, she did a GREAT job of getting the
unions in their place.


And in doing so wrecked British Industry. That was good was it?


The Economist had a special about Britain recently - 2nd highest GDP in
Europe - low unemployment - amazing !!


I like the word "recently" that you put in there :-))

20 years to recover? That's good is it?

and who pays for it now? Us the tax payer. Do you like paying all these
high
taxes? Petrol? Air Travel? Pay by the mile on top of your car tax, petrol
tax, MOT tax, PAYE tax before you even get your money? I am taxed on my
pensions because I have so many, I 'saved for my future' and get taxed on
it, I get taxed on my investments.

People in UK pay far less in income tax than many EU countries.
In total UK is one of the least taxed countries in the EU.

Why is it then, that the people who are on pensions are the poorest?
