The 1980s was a decade of change for many countries, but for Great Britain, it could be considered radical. The economic transformation of Britain during that period bears the indelible mark of Margaret Thatcher and her policies.
In this Audible Original, Professor Amy Edwards takes you through the life and leadership of Margaret Thatcher. See how she went from being a shopkeeper’s daughter who lived above her parents’ corner shop to holding Britain’s top job and earning a reputation as one of the most influential politicians of the 20th century.
In addition, Professor Edwards considers just how revolutionary the social, economic, and political changes overseen by Thatcher’s government really were, and the effects they had on the daily lives of Britons of all ages and classes. And she concludes with Thatcher’s contentious fall from power, showing how, even after the end of her premiership, “Thatcherism” continued to live on under her successors.

Thatcher was an unnecessary evil. Under her malign influence the price of houses shot up exponentially, essential utilities were sold off,harsh union laws introduced, and the seeds sown for the privatisation of the NHS. And much more there isn’t the time to go into. The appalling state of Britain today can be traced right back to her.

Thatcher was a force of devastation, who destroyed British industry and laid waste to communities that have never recovered; who sold the country’s fortunes to a deregulated financial sector and encouraged a speculative culture with disastrous consequences; and whose premiership was defined by the pitched battles of the 1984 miners’ strike, by inner city riots and by the social unrest over the hated poll tax that eventually led to her political demise in 1990.
In foreign affairs, she dismissed the apartheid-fighting Africa National Congress in South Africa as “a typical terrorist organization” and refused to back sanctions against the racist state, and drank tea with Augusto Pinochet while the former Chilean military ruler was being held under house arrest in London as part of an investigation into human rights abuses.

She pursued policies that caused great suffering to millions of ordinary working class men and women. She decimated the manufacturing base, causing unprecedented mass unemployment. She used virtual police state methods to suppress the miners’ strike. The miners were effectively starved back to work. These were very cruel and heartless policies.
All in all I don’t like her :)

She was the greatest PM of the 20th century after Churchill. She saved Britain and its economy and showed the world that you could not takeover something that doesn’t belong to you (Falklands) without consequence.

How did she save Britain and its economy? How bad was it? Worse than it is now? House prices shooting up like a heroin addict. Insufficient social housing and rents exorbitantly high.
And The Falklands War. More British soldiers committed suicide after that war than died during battle. 264 to 237. The war was an appalling waste of life and still costs the country billions. We could have evacuated every islander, made each one a millionaire, and saved lives and money.
I think she was one evil beech. My wish is that history will see past the tabloid deification, dig her up and put her on trial.

It was once said that the only was to accommodate the number of people that wanted to dance on her grave, would have been to scatter her ashes in Ibiza.
And second only to Churchill? Well he was responsible for the deaths of millions in the Bengal famine, so I suppose he just tips it in the evil bàstàrd stakes.

Thatcher financialised everything and sold our society and democracy to the money-men. Now the same money-men are trying to hide the devastation she caused using their corporate media, brainwashing the gullible. She tranformed our democracy into an oligarchy. Ronald Regan did the same to the US. Hope they both rot in hell.

You could not takeover something that doesn’t belong to you (Falklands)? Really?
This has a name and it is called Cheering on imperialism? Delusions of grandeur? Maybe both!

The only purpose of her so- called influential era is to leave marks on history what total lost under “free market” driven nonsense it was.

I thought that she was great. She rubbed the Left’s nose in it for years. All they had to offer was the Welsh Windbag - Kinnock.
