However, she did one thing that worked out well for us - she faced down the French, Germans and their cronies to negotiate our EU rebate which has saved us billions over the years. Unfortunately, the odious and slimey war monger, Blair negotiated a large part of it away later on, in return for vague promises on CAP reform. It's estimated that Blair's spineless surrender will have cost us around £9.3billion between 2007 and 2013.

Don't forget that she also put the government of the day in charge of the country instead of the Unions, she put lunatics like Scargill in their place, which was a plus for every body in the country
