The British's opinion on Thatcher is very divided and split into two camps; those who hate her and those who admire her. The deep divisions continues to this very day, the view of Thatcher from one side is that she was responsible for the fall of the Trade Unions in the UK, and exhibited ruthless behaviour towards the miners and other blue-collarworkers. However, those on the opposing side of the debate believe that Thatcher brought Britain back up from it's knees when it was facing a major financial crisis pre-1979 due to the aftermath of WW2 and the creation of the Welfare State in 1948.

Eventually after a decade in power, in 1990, mainly due to the public backlash of the Poll Tax, Thatcher was forced out of government by her own cabinet members and was succeeded by John Major.

It is likely that the British will a strong opinion on Thatcher for a long time yet, as demonstrated in some of defintions left by other users.

Had an unjustified war with argentina and killed tens of thousands of people overa bunch of frozen rocks when diplomacy would have got us back the islands that meant nothing to everyone in mainland UK and lots to the little racist people on them. trebled unemployment, shut down the mines (it is now worked out that if she left them alone, then it would have made the country a profit, rather than costing millions and putting thousands on the dole). oh, and a little thing called the poll tax.

In other words, the most overrated leader of the UK since the monarchy was in charge.
