Prbably just fine. She will be having a hell of a time turning that place around, just like she did with The UK Turned it round? Do you really believe the hype? God help us. No Hype. When she came to power the Country was on it's knees. The Unions had virtually destroyed our industry, with their Marxist extreme left wing ideologies. As a Country we were the laughing stock of the world. Countries like Germany, France, USA, Japan etc etc etc were all forging ahead with new technology and new practices, but we were in a time warp. Now...For the record, I am not Anti Union, in any way shape or form, but under Labour the Unions grew to such a beast they simply could not be contained, we all remember the likes of British Leyland, and Red Robbo, daft things like a non member of The Electricians Union changed a light bulb at Cowley, right, everyone out...Bosses were afraid of the shop floor, there were stories of night shifts blatantly turning up for work with their sleeping bags for a nights kip, and under the likes of Robbo, Scargill etc etc they were untouchable.. Our economy was in freefall, inflation was out of control, unemployment soaring, but under 18 years of Tory rule, 12 of which were Maggie's the Country was turned around. Inflation...Under control Unemployment...Dropping. GDP...Rising. Our status as a true global power...Never higher. Now yes, she made mistakes, huge mistakes, and a lot of what she and her government did was a bitter pill to swallow, but without that pill we'd have continued to decline to an un rescuable level. So yes,,,I do believe the hype...God Bless Ya Baroness Thatcher...

So yes,,,I do believe the hype...God Bless Ya Baroness Thatcher... Spot on Shangsy. Add to this the the 33% basic rate of tax and 68% higher rate that she inherited from the previous government. The myth that she decimated the mining industry is destroyed when you compare the 251 mines closed under Wilson with the 150 odd Saint Maggie closed. The difference is that the miners under Wilson were re-employed in other mines making coal production more uncompetetive. Yes she did have to raise interest rates but this was to tackle raging inflation and the massive IMF bailout of 1977. Nationalised industries were inefficient and putting nothing into the treasury. As an example we had just bought our first home just before Maggie swept to power, it took six months to get a telephone line installed by British Telecom and this was in a house in a street where most other homes had a line. In 1979 there were 29m days lost to strikes, power cuts were pretty standard and, in Maggies own words, candles were almost units of currency. Unfortunately successive governments had wrung their hands and pursued policies of conciliation with the unions, which basically meant capitulation. The demands from increasingly militant leaders grew; less hours, more pay or paralysis. Strange isn't it that after her death, Saint Maggie recieved more statesman like tributes from across all three political parties than even Winston Churchill did. Even her political enemies praised her personal qualities – courage, conviction, patriotism and humour. Lord Ashdown, no fan of the Conservative leader, described Lady Thatcher as the “greatest prime minister of our day".

Especially the state funeral, does anyone actually think the Idiot Blair will be remembered, other than with the upmost contempt and distain. Don't even start me on Wilson, who I genuinely believe was the so called 6th man, a KGB spy put in place by the KGB. The circumstances surrounding Gaitskill's death absolutely point towards it.

We should have St Margaret's Day. Fittingly should be the date of her death, as that is the day the country united. Me and millions others celebrated her life and raised a glass to her memory, the great unwashed danced in the street. Either way she would have been chuffed to bits.

Me and millions others celebrated her life and raised a glass to her memory, the great unwashed danced in the street............. Singing "Ding dong the witch is dead". Which was quite ironical given that Maggie's stance against communist tyranny allows such open outpouring of hatred. You're right she would be looking down on them with a wry smile feeling quite chuffed.

She ruled the country with an iron strap-on. Like a stern grandmother that molests her weakest grandchildren and puts her favourites on a pedestal.
Without her there would have been a great famine, with the UK one of the poorest third-world countries on the planet. God bless that woman.
