Aren't memories funny things. I'm not old enough to remember a Tory government calling in the IMF though I can remember a Labour one doing it
Maggie Thatcher was no saint but she did turn the economy round in the 80s and moved the industrial path of the country forward away from some sectors who had no real future.
Does anybody really think that in the modern, health and safety, climate conscious world, we would or even should, still have a coal industry?
You may not like the way she did some things but they needed to be done, and would have been done later by someone else anyway.
