She put banks on a bigger power trip than that held by the Unions before she got power. Why Thatcher supporters ignore this is beyond me, she has not only ruined this country but her and friend Regan caused the current world recession THIRTY years later by giving them to much power.
Oh right. So the successive governments worldwide since then bear no responsibility at all?
Bill Clinton deregulated the US banking sector in the late 90's. Gordon Brown did much the same in the UK. He needed to to fuel the artificial boom he used to spunk countless billions away on the public sector.
I'm afraid if you're looking to pin the blame for the credit crunch and recession since 2008 you're going to have to look a little closer to home than two politicians who haven't been in power for at least 22 years, although the left are traditionally very good at blaming anyone and everyone else for their failings.

Ask yourselves WHY she shut the mines?
There wasn't enough coal to mine that was making profit, and the government had to plunge money into it. She had a decision to make, and she made one. Had they stayed open, how much more would the Goverment had to have paid out to keep it going?
