Thatcher's policies were instrumental in creating a country where the majority are too disenfranchised/uneducated to bother voting. Hence, the elitist morons in some form or other will forever rule.

OK, what have I missed?

As far as I'm concerned, we need a a good, strong socialist dictatorship with me at the helm - we'll be united in our efforts to fight against bad bacteria, viruses, laziness, bigotry and asteroids - that should keep us going for a couple of hundred years while we work out the right way to run things

I know that somehow she managed to solve soccer hooligans' issue, and that for me, being Italian, is a great accomplishment.
Though I can't help wondering if the same have happened if Bono (and his hat) karked it in a plane crash...

I vote for lager's benign dictatorship (although it does worry me that dense may have some form of roll in the lager junta)
Thatcher did nothing positive for football from an English perspective. The availability of good quality E's had more of an effect on reducing and side-lining football hooliganism than her policies.
I grew up in a family in which The Iron Lady was one of my father's heroes, and I never had the chance or the desire to deeply analyze her acts and her policies. I know that somehow she managed to solve soccer hooligans' issue, and that for me, being Italian, is a great accomplishment.
The best and worst thing about this forum is the oppressive consensus on many subjects. For climbing, and a few other practical topics, that works well: keeps idiots away. On politics ... personally I wish people would vent elsewhere and leave ukb politics-free. Especially the one or two who don't contribute anything else to this place. I am not alone with that wish ... others have said it to me directly.
