all I know about Thatcher was that she was a buddie of Ronnie and she ruined the North. I know this from watching the Full Monty and other English movies.

But seriously, I know a lot of people hated her.

not being English I don't know details... but she ( like Ronnie ) was a strike buster and while miners were on strike she simply ( not so simply ) closed the mines... hundreds out of work.
Annette ( errr, mrs. G that is ) tells stories of having electricity ( coal fired power plants ) 3-4 days at week at the worst of it.

as I say........local forum English'ers

can better provide details.
