Apart from putting thousands of hard-working, well-paid workers on the scrapheap, they sacrificed this country's energy security, our heavy industry and public infrastructure. Maggie then bought cheap foreign coal and steel and provided jobs for foreign workers, not British workers. This gave us a so-called responsible Tory government who gave the country 14 years of austerity. They cut public spending in the NHS, policing, law and order and the armed forces. Finally, Maggie's legacy is the Welsh valleys that became so poor they qualified for EU funding.
