Hopefully her legacy will die with her. We are still suffering from her menage a trois with Reagan and neo liberalism.
See that nasty unemployable anti-social chav drinking too many alcopops and holding a nasty pitbull? It didn't exist in early 1979. But, by early 1989 the first crop were about to be released onto society. And her three boyfriends aren't much better.
Doesn't mean your memory is correct. The rise of the chav and ladette was most definitely the 1990s. For all the hate espoused within this thread, does anyone think that any other ex-PM will have as many positive comments when they die as Mrs T has?
Stop moving the goalposts. I blame specifically this Alcopop launched in 1995 so mid 1990s. I based my intial 1990s on Wayne and Waynetta Slob's sketches.
Data fact from some watch society or summat: underage teenage alcohol consumption increased by 65%-ish between 1992-2001 I have read a short while ago. Hooch wasn't the first alcopop but it is the most famous from that era. Edited by Kermit8 (08 Apr 2013 5.44pm) You moved them a decade! Link inserted and correctly guessed. So what pre dated Hooch then?, I should know it was my prime (underage/cusp of legal) drinking years. It was all f***ing widgets in the early 90s, ie Beer.
Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand! My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right. (Member of the School of Optimism 1969-2016 inclusive) |

There are numerous comments about her attack on the miners but does any one know how many mines have been reopened since 1997. if they were so economical surely Labour would have rushed to appease the unions but they did not proving her right. The seventies were an on going disaster for the Uk with many over manned industries left behind by a new breed of industrial nations with a lower cost base that ultimately led to the death of industry in the Uk. She may have an uncareing bitch but she moved Britain out of the dark ages. Mines that had lain dormant for 14 years? Be realistic. Coal was always going to be more economical to import, that wasn't the issue, it had been for some time, the issue was that entire regions of the country were entirely dependent on mining for employment and the local economy. The consequence was that those areas were economically destroyed for generations as few jobs existed locally outside of mining, and they were based in fairly remote areas which would not attract new business. The economical reasons for closing mining was pretty sound, it wasn't ever going to be a profitable enterprise except in a few areas. The social impact of the closure of so many mines in a short space of time, was to consign entire generations to the dole - These areas saw increasing social problems related to poverty, including high suicide rates, substance abuse, crime, violence and a steady decline in education and employment.

I blame MacMillan and Wilson but my father blamed everything on the Beatles.
The rise of social liberalism, unrealistic increases in expectations. The increasing divide in life opportunities and pay between the haves and have nots..Profession protectionism..Lots of reasons.

Of course the aftermath could have been handled much better, but the battle had to be fought, and won.
