ITT unhinged liberals do more for conservatism than margaret thatcher ever could

I'm watching Paxman right now, he's making the point that Blair and Cameron followed her economic policies. He's right.

If you get the chance, ask a Welshman what he thinks of her. I swear they invent swear words I've never heard of before.

I would never pretend to be an expert on British politics.
But my mother (a Brit who has spent the last 30+ years in the U.S.) is a screaming liberal and thinks that Thatcher actually did a lot of good for the U.K. in the long run. Mostly from mentality standpoint. She thinks Brits relied on the government and social programs far too much and her policies lessened that dependency. She also thinks her economic policies, that were carried on by those who followed, meant the country felt less of an impact from economic downturns.
On a side note, my brother is currently buying his council house from the government, which I believe is a program started by Thatcher.

All I remember of the woman was that her and Reagan were pretty tight. So maybe they decided that in order to fight communism they also had to "stop feeding the bears" in their own countries? That's what I took from my childhood understanding of these particular political leaders of that time.


This bit about her calling Nelson Mandela a terrorist is bothersome though. I never knew she had said such a thing. Either way I think she should pay for her own funeral or forever be labeled a socialist, postmortem.
