34 years ago to the day that it was Thatcher's last day as PM.

But the rot had already begun, culminating with the last 14 years of Tory misrule, so we are all living with the hideous legacy of that woman's rigid ideology.

I like a happy ending.

34 years for her policies to help us towards our parlous national state - privatised, rapacious utilities, mass housing shortage, underinvestment in decaying infrastructure by private owners, farmer up in arms at paying tax (she exempted them from IH), I could go on, but oh, my blood pressure.

And yet there are some who still feel wistful for her. Not sure there's ever been a proper appraisal of her legacy.

Yes. Oddly enough, our EU deal was one of her achievements. Although our public relationship with Europe was not.
