Piece in todays Guardian I paraphrase and plagarise:
Britain was battered out of the somnolent conservatism, across a wide front of economic policies and priorities, that held back progress and arguably prosperity.
Thatcherism imposed for better or for worse some of the liberalisation that the major continental economies know 20 years later on balance were for the better, and so plainly did Thatchers chief successor Tony Blair.
If a leader's record is to be measured by the willingnes of the other side to decide it cannot turn back the clock, then Baroness Thatcher bulks big in history.
