Taking the UK members' comments into account, it is hard for me to pass judgement one way or t'other. I think it is proper for the government to cease spending money in industries that are only losing money -- and I think it's right to reform those industries, especially where they are dependent on the taxpayers' money. I realize that's a small (but contentious!) slice of the issues regarding Thatcher, but that's all I'm willing to say for now. Because I was in grade school and jr. high school during her reign (when I cared nothing about politics), I am forced to look at it historically -- and I am still trying to gather all the facts and opinions about her.
