At least she had bigger balls than Blair on the world stage and the evil crap she pulled was very up front and obvious. The amount of nasty legislation and other crap Blair has managed behind the scenes during his over-long stint is insane.
On balance for every inexcusable nasty piece of crap she pulled she managed 2 or 3 things the country badly needed. For those around at the time with an IQ large enough to realise what was actually happening the truth of Thatcher is that she didn't ruin the country, nor was she totally good for it. As is the case with many things, the truth lies somewhere in between.

Umm, she did ruin the country buddy and we are still feeling the effects of her disasterous policies today. Crime soared, she ruined our industrys, unemployment was around 4-5 million, ruined the lives of many working class people.
I understand what you are saying about balance, but the point is, all i am mentioning is facts, none of this is opinion.
The crazy bitch even said "There is no such thing as society"
