I'm surprised you didn't know about Thatcher covering up a fucking pedophile ring in her own party.

Or maybe you do know about it and don't care.

>>66918189
You're very right that I don't care. She's been dead for quite a while. I care about as much as I imagine the average American cares about the shady deals of their former leaders. Every country has had people in power who are corrupt and use their position as a platform for nepotism. If we're going to talk about Margaret Thatcher there are several things she did worse than covering up for some pedos.

I find it problematic that jobs are outsourced to China. But as a libtard I find it hard to combine my opinions of the free market and government intervention. I don't know how it can be done without some jobs going overseas.

>He armed terrorists with weapons that would later be used by the group that caused 9/11
Fair enough, but he had his reasons. It's easy to say it was bad in hindsight. Not so easy when you're the president before the fact.

>He did nothing to contain the AIDS epidemic that was sweeping the nation
That's bad, I agree.

I have no problem with tax cuts.

She was awful.

Every economic indicator under Thatcher got worse. Much later she only controlled inflation (after taking it from 10% to 20%) by imposing a depression on the country. She had to abandoned Monetarism half way through her tenure and pretend she never believed in it.

Foreign policy was an embarrassment: supporting Apartheid, supporting Pol Pot, supporting Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAUdupZlzwo

The makings of the 2008 Financial Crisis in this country started with her as well, pic related.

She was hilariously bad. To an absurd degree. Which of course is why edgy /pol/tards think she was good.

GDP growth in the Thatcher years and since was half what it was in the post-war years between Attlee (Britain's greatest ever PM in case the Swede is interested) and Callaghan.

>Jobs
Yea employment finally rose during the massive debt binge she created. Refer back to chart here >>66920536

Before then, Thatcher took unemployment to levels not seen since The Great Depression (pic related).

What improved with Thatcher? Unemployment didn't. Growth didn't. The current account didn't. Economic inequality went through the roof. Housing became unaffordable. The list is endless.

She only controlled inflation much later on AFTER abandoning monetarism.

Believing more memes I see. Yea the industry was so bad that the private sector was desperate to buy it all when she privatised it.

Why not actually refer to how much national income and wages were growing to see how "bad" British industry was.

Also, she was responsible for the Falklands. They had prior information and she just ignored it like a mong.

More memes I see.

The previous governments were destroyed by giant inflation caused by your deal with the Saudis which quadrupled the oil price overnight.

Oil being the most important input into production meant runaway inflation. Unions had no choice to strike to keep up with runaway prices.

>dead industries
This is just blatantly false. The British industries were the best in all of Europe. Subsequent reports have shown this time and time again.

How is that wrong?

Your Founding Fathers were also a bunch of rapists. Jefferson raped his slaves constantly.

No. Unions created higher employment not lower employment. They raised aggregate demand from wages would prevent employer abuses of workers with unfair dismissals.
