As with any political decision it depends on which side of the fence you fall. Some, such as council house buyers undoubtedly, others who did loose their jobs in tight communities will naturally not be so happy.
Mrs T was on the right, it is the job of the left to find fault, just as it is the job of the right to point out the fault of the left. Hopefully along the way we end up with a happy medium.
I suppose the main difference here is the bitter and often unfounded hatred that is held by many who probably would not have recognized her in the street let alone understand what she stood for and indeed in many cases probably not even born.

Dominic Sandbrook is by some considerable distance, my favourite modern historian.
His books are entertaining, engaging and written with real style and wit.
I am sure that he believes what he has written, but I'm a little disappointed that he hasn't deployed the same level of objectivity he uses in his books ('White Heat' and 'Never Had It So Good' being prime examples) here.

The problem is that an entire generation have been brainwashed by lefty teachers. Many of those celebrating her death have been taught to hate her. Ask them about their own experiences and you get a blank look. Most weren't born in 1979 some weren't even born during her tenure. I PMSL yesterday when some idiot tried to blame her for Hong Kong. We had leased in 1898 for 99 years that expired when whe was not even in office and started before she was born! Then there was another idiot who blamed her after another county in economic melt down run by a military dictatorship invade the Falklands to shift attention away, that was her fault too! It seems that every thing is MrsT fault! That's MTH sheep for you.

That would only really be true if the generation you speak of only had one source of information about the 80s.
Young people have many media outlets from which to form their views, as well as teacher, parents etc etc.

Fair enough murray
I give way to your personal insights
perhaps 'ramblings' was the not the most appropriate word to use
My recollection is that his overall political message was unfocused and provided less certainty than Maggie's
And he appeared less in control of his cabinet and allies than might have been wanted at the time
