There is an expression that you shouldn't speak ill of the dead but a huge number of people in the UK will never forgive her for destroying so many lives during her premiership. It used to be said back in the 60s that any first year student at the LSE could formulate a plan to improve the country's economic problems however no-one would dare follow them as the cost to so many millions of working people would be too great, Thatcher tried it but amazingly didn't after all her time at the top improve things.

Ludicrous. The dismal state of the UK economy in 1979 is not remotely comparable to that in 1990 when she left office.
I guess this was bound to get political so it may get moved soon.
But all I'll say is that an entity can't keep spending far more money that it takes in; it is unsustainable and somewhere something has to give.
