The Thatcher era was incredibly hard for everyone living through it. She privatized everything she could and people were scared of losing their jobs - if they had one. Scotland had some sort of ridiculously high unemployment rate. I didn't know one person who had a job when I was growing up. It was all unemployment and welfare. I think in retrospect she dragged the country out of the dark ages.
Oh and, don't diss the Unions. They've helped us achieve a great many things, but they too need to evolve or they'll go the way of the dinosaur and then we'll be in a right pickle.
