Well there's little doubt that the Thatcher government wrecked the dead man walking that successive labour governments and Conservative governments weakened by union stupidity, greed, and control by the USSR that had sprung into existence.
The necessary actions that she took did indeed result in unemployment blackspots and communities dependant on huge subsidies from the UK taxpayers suddenly facing their feather bedded industries shut down - and rightly so.
But the across the board reforms not least putting trade unions in their place returned the UK to health.
