Thatcher consigned vast swathes of the UK to employment and opportunity oblivion while the South East roared away to the stock market collapse and housing bubble of 1987-1989.

If Herself had put into place adequate training and new employment opportunities when she decided that lage areas of the country didn’t need industry or actually - employment of most sorts - then maybe - just maybe she could be a roll model.

Adult education/night schools fell off a cliff while she was in charge. People could not dig themselves out of the holes she dug for them - then she sold off the pick, shovel and ladder.
