The lady's not for turning....... bitch

In the late '80s, my family owned a small family run shop. My mum and dad had been paying their taxes for years, alot of money into places that then, out of nowhere, Maggie Thatcher then sold, to her rich friends, and we saw no benefit out of it. The one thing we got from that era, was a poll tax, that in turn lost us our shop, a shop that my mum to this day is adamant would have been successful. They put their lives into that shop. We were effectively homeless.
Looking back, I remember the upset it caused. I was about four years old, I clearly remember reluctantly leaving the shop for the last time, in silence, the whole family looking like someone had died. It was awful. And now, I realise, it was all done to fund tax breaks for rich people who wear suits and say "let's do lunch".
In the late '70s, our family voted Labour all our lives, but didn't vote in '79. Labour had destroyed the Country. Thatcher promised to make things better. My family were very cautious to believe Tory spin. So they didn't vote.
Thatcher got in.
The country was thinking it'd be saved.
Then...
Record unemployment in the north, where mines and factories closed.
Tax breaks for the rich with their big houses, whilst 60% of Liverpool's hard working poor, were left unemployed.
Record inflation levels.
Maggie was hated, by the majority of the Country. The SDP were on the rise, whilst Thatcher knew the public were unemployed and unable to afford to live, she continued to press through reforms to the economy in order to benefit those who didn't fucking need benefitting.
Who best to attack next? Ah yes, school kids, free milk apparently promoted dependence, which she hated. Any form of togetherness or community got in the way of independence, or greed, and so free milk was taken away. More money from the poor. Wonderful.
She then cut funding to the Falklands.
Withdrew the navy from the Falklands and left it unprotected.
Knew damn fucking well she needed some way of making herself popular again, and knowing damn fucking well that the Argentines wanted those islands back, so she provoked them into War. We then won the war, over islands she didn't give a shit about, to install a sense of national pride, and suddenly every fucker loved her. How fickle were these idiots?
What more can she do? Needs to win support from the poor. Let them buy their council houses for a cheap price. Brilliant......ly selfish. A council house is for couples to rent, save money, move into a bigger house, leaving the council house for the next young couple, which in turn, keeps prices low, so people can afford it. Now, because people are allowed to buy their council homes, there are no fucking homes left. I'll never own my own house because of Thatcher.
She ruined lives, so ignorant rich cunts could reep the benefits. The devil in a skirt. Evil. When she FINALLY dies, if there is a State funeral for her, i'm moving country. She is the reason I will never vote Tory. She sold arms to Sadam, she befriended Pinochet, one of the most evil dictators on Earth. She was fucking evil.
The most stable the country has been, in thirty odd years, was under Blair. By far.
