i can not stand back and let people give praise to Thatcher.
What she did to the miners was a disgrace.

Quote:
The UK Miners' Strike was major industrial action affecting the British coal industry. It was a defining moment in British industrial relations, and its defeat significantly weakened the British trades union movement. It was also seen as a major political and ideological victory for Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative Party.

The strike became a symbolic struggle, since the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) was one of the strongest in the country, viewed by many, including Conservatives in power, as having brought down the Heath government in its 1974 strike. The strike ended with the miners' defeat and the Thatcher government able to consolidate its free market programme. The political power of the NUM was broken permanently. The dispute exposed deep divisions in British society and caused considerable bitterness, especially in Northern England and in South Wales. Ten deaths resulted from events around the strike. This included 6 picketers, 3 children searching for coal and a taxi driver (David Wilkie).[1]

I suppose that was one of her greatest moments as well ?

She done nothing for this country and as for the Sending in the SAS - wow wee,she proberly did nothing but sit back and let the police chiefs run the show and then jump in the spotlight when it was over.
