Lively debate is one thing & there's always going to be a huge gulf dividing the opinions of folks where ol' Mags is concerned, but pumping out the populist rhetoric of her being a "Nasty Nazi", is quite simply unrealistic.

What I mean is that she was deluded and out of touch with reality to the extent of going a head with the Poll Tax - that lead to her downfall. Ok she was nuthin like a Nasti Nazi - but you get the parallels. She didn't have the brains to get out like Tony Blair did - before being ousted by those below him in the party!
