Reply #12: I was a teenager in the early to mid 1970's [View All]

and, for all the problems of that decade, I infinitely preferred Britain then to what it became under Thatcher in the 1980s. The industrial economy of this country has never really recovered from the devastation that it suffered in her first period as PM. If that idiot Galtieri had not been so stupid as to invade the Falkland islands I am pretty sure she would have only ever served one term. I know that there will be some people who will miss her when she has gone but I am afraid that I will not be one of them.
