That should read "her great efforts to help middle England".

Maggies (very personal) hatred and comtempt for the Scots was part of her downfall... and the reason that Scotland has become the most left-wing part of the UK. The same applies to Wales and the North of England.

If she had had the foresight to unite the country rather than divide it, Britain wouldn't be suffering from the socialist resurgence it is now.

Bull. There were only twelve Scottish MP's in the third Thatcher Government (twelve Scottish conservatives, rather). In any case, what did she do to offend the Scots (or the Welsh) other than cut back on some of the overly-generous public services they enjoyed and refuse all demands for devolution or regional autonomy.

The main problem is that the stupid, the poor, the lazy, and the useless are allowed to vote and, therefore, the controvesey over the Community Charge (combined with the Row over Europe) was enough to do her in.

Typically, she was right about both of those things as well. Britain needs to get the hell away from European perverts and degenerates. The faster the better.

And, of course, the Community Charge was an emminently sensible idea- one that I'm entirely in favor of. All people use certian basic services equally, so why should they not pay for them all equally? A Poll Tax seems, to me at least, to be the fairest of all taxes.
