Margaret Thatcher and her government did me no favours, but I can see that there were very difficult choices to be made it was a time of much unrest.(IRA, Miners Strike, Falklands war.political instability to mention just a fewissues)
We can say that we lived through it...it is past, but we remember the hard times...and I think they were harder then than they are now(just my opinion...which is worth nowt)
There is room for opinions of all shades and it would be a very boring life if we all thought the same thing.

I have no problem with other views so long as we can discuss them, when someone can't come up with a better (or is that bitter) retort than 'YAWN', should that person be considered a truthful thinking person? Or should they just be considered a biased insulting individual?
I lived through the Thatcher years obviously her experience during that time was different to my own, would I wish her to have anything less?
No, of course not, compared with many she was lucky, that doesn't mean anything I or others experienced should be pushed to one side by a smug, 'YAWN'.
