The legacy? For the legacy, folks, look around you. You need not look far.
You'll see your Ghost Town High Street, your distant Accident & Emergency Centre, your Tesco PLC / It-used-to-be-a pub, your pay freeze, your everything made in China (or somewhere but not the UK), your going out of business football club, your youth unemployment, your Super Rich Gated Community withadd-on double-basement-excavation.

Thatcher was the last strong prime minister this country has had, she took on the unions that in the previous decades had been doing a good job of destroying British industry on their own, and won, I find it understandable that in the areas affected there is a degree of denial as to their grandfathers, fathers, brothers etc part in their own downfall but lets not have a grave dancing session, it demeans the people who are doing it.
