She helped close down the coal mines too early, new jobs could of been brought into those coal mining areas instead those Miners were put on the scrap heap all the Miners wanted was their jobs, those areas have never recovered, a very intelligent woman who simply made a mistake which cannot be forgotten.

Poll Tax didn't go down that well either being Prime Minister is a hot potato she had a good run.

@senghenydd Made a number of massive blunders with Poll tax in Scotland and then England and learnt nothing from them.

@senghenydd
A mistake? Hell no. She knew exactly what she was doing. This was spite, against a unionised industry which she feared could bring down her Government.

@GeniUs @Philth When you haved to go you have to go even her own party The Tories knew that, so it was exist Margaret, I remember seeing her crying leaving number 10 for the last time.

@senghenydd I remember the tears too but as my mother said, "she's only crying for herself" and in that moment she felt the same way many people under her government had felt for a decade. I think I may be particularly angry about this because I voted for her and I really fucking hate it when people let me down.

@GeniUs I'm sure t @GeniUs @GeniUs Maggie won't be the last politian that lets you down I haven't taken them seriously for years obviously some are better than others and some do really work hard.

@senghenyddA horrible situation; voting for the person you think is least corrupt.
Edit: She wasn't Prescott really got my goat too.

@GeniUs I haven't a great opinion of Politicians.
