Margaret Thatcher: A Warning from History (Episode 6)

Margaret Thatcher is one of the towering figures of post-war Britain, for better or for worse, and one of the most divisive. It's almost impossible to discuss her career and legacy in a balanced and non-judgemental way, so we haven't wasted any energy trying. This programme is a comprehensive overview of Margaret Thatcher's life and times from an explicitly antagonistic perspective. Conservatives: watch something else. 6: The Pit and the Pendulum. The miners go on strike Civil war on the streets. Arthur Scargill spoiling for a fight and doesn't care if he destroys his own chances of winning.
