Perhaps a better debate/vote was who stuffed the country more - Thatcher with her 'it is good to be greedy, rich and selfish', sqaundering the crown jewells (North Sea oil and gas) and running her party like a dictatorship or Scargill with his 'it is good to have universal sufferage and misery and running his union like a dictatorship', squandering the trade union movement (some of the younger readers will not know what Britain was like pre-First war I).

Diametrically opposed yet very similar in a lot of ways. Whoever won a pretty much lose lose situation really.

BD - I never knew he/she had it in him/her

PS Of course Mrs T was a neighbour of mine once
