If you enjoy being self-employed these days...

then you should be grateful to Thatcher for encouraging self-employment by cutting taxes and regulation, making it easier for people to go into business for themselves.

Today, many more Britons are self-employed than before Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister.

Bollux,I'm taxed up to my arse and everything I've done in life has been down to me,not that champion of middle England.My brother in law was killed in the Falklands and she took the ticker tape glory as families mourned their loved ones and used the political kudos to then smash the working man and his communities,encourage the loadsamoney south east Tory boys,sell council houses and not replace,encourage everyone to get a mortgage and then watch as interest rates Rose to 15%,and her coup de grace,hillsborough.I employ 10 people and I assure you I have nothing to thank that bitch for.

All I remember was the shockingly high interest rates, it 's amazing any business got off the ground.

She had to try and balance the employment figures somehow after killing of the coal industry and several other heavy industries and making tens of thousands of people unemployed (she was the cause of Britain's highest unemployment since the war!.
Even with the token gesture you mention coupled with the other pityful schemes she instigated which replaced about 10% of total work force she put out of work!.
Then thanks to her came every Tom,Dick and Harriot setting up shop in this Country welcomed with open arms who offered s**t wages whilst paying into the U k 's coffers a pittence for the Land,factories and workforce.
Then we had Agencies creeping out of every nook and cranny who took half pay of every person they employed!.
I hope the Bitch rots in helll. :wave:
