题目: Re: I think she was a great leader and stats showed she made some positive differences.
Artful Dodger: She was so great her party dumped her, as her popularity within the UK had dropped to a level where she could not be a PM to lead her party through another General election.
She destroyed communities and helped the police cover up the Hillsborough mess. Plus many suspect she knew about Jimmy Saville and how much of a paedophile he was. It's very unlikely that all the rumours about him did not reach her.
... but he was a 'hero' at the time.
"Ding Dong the Witch is dead" got to number two in the charts yesterday!!

The Col: Not quite true. She dropped the highest rate from 83% to 60% in her governments first budget of 1980.
While the lowest earners got a 3% rate cut in the same year from 33% to 30%
... Regardless, most of the top earners while being British officially live in tax haven countries to avoid paying UK income tax. Or if they are rich enough like the Barclay brothers... buy an island. In their case the island of Brecqhou just off Sark (one of the channel islands).
