No point in saying history has an effect on everyones life as that is just a load of crap, true be it but you cant change the past.

"I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand "I have a problem, it is the Government's job to cope with it!" or "I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!" "I am homeless, the Government must house me!" and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations"
The percentage of adults owning shares rose from 7% to 25% during her tenure
More than a million families bought their council houses, The houses were sold at a discount of 33-55 per cent.
My family didn't even get a council house, they had to go to work and buy a house, i remember hardly seeing my dad during the week, because he worked.

Actually Hitler had an unwaivering purpose, was an incredible orator and but for questionable methods had sound theory in what he was attempting to achieve.
I wouldn't be so hard on Hitler by comparing him to Thatcher.

Thatcher is more comparable to Churchill to be honest. People celebrated when he died too.

In a round about way its true.
What actual effect did thatcher have on your life? What would you be doing differently if she didn't become prime minister?

You said history having an effect on everyones life is just a load of crap, typed on a device invented by someone that is now dead i.e. an historical figure.
I'd hopefully have more chance of obtaining a mortgage as the financial services industry which she de-regulated would not have become the massive drain on the public that it has done. As a simple example.

Love how gassing/starving millions of Jews can be passed off as "questionable methods".

They didn't have iTunes back then but I would suggest a song celebrating his death wouldn't have been top of the charts as it is with Thatcher. They are incomparable.

No more questionable, although on a grander scale, than sending thousands to their deaths in the Falklands by ignoring your own Intelligence.
