The mines is only one aspect of the Thatcher era I had major issues with.
In fact a lot of mining areas are still not recovered from the decimation her policies had.
Oh I see service industry ok, 300 folk crammed in a call centre earning minimum wage rather than high paid manufacturing industry, be it mining, steel workers, dockers, car industry given the choice what do you think the individuals concerned would rather do?
With regards to home produced items all things considered it probably is just as competitive to produce them here if you think about the carbon footprint produced.
Funny isn't it even when Thatcher went all people could think about was negatives, just like now. Blair goes and I can think of positives as well as negatives, even though he is an old school tory.
