What is wrong with what I posted? This is what happened, she destroyed whole towns with her financial policies and was deeply unpopular, even more so than any one before her. The only thing that saved her from the job centre was the Falklands victory, she admitted this.
You did not experience the way she sliced the country up, you left as she came to power. You did not experience how the rich got richer and the poor went to the wall under her administration, her devil take the hindmost approach to society. Unemployment increased, the poor were blamed for their misfortune and their unemployment money slashed to the bone and as for the chronically ill?
The cost of living increased, as did homelessness as she allowed council homes to be sold to its tenants, these homes were sold on to large tenancy businesses who took advantage of the lax rental building laws and regulations to pull the homes down and build rabbit hutches for families to rent at a punishing price. The VAT regulations allowed for this.
I could go one and on but will leave it there.
