And yes, I remember it vividly. I was in Yorkshire during the Miners' Strike, and I saw what she did to people and communities. She's old and ailing now, and that's sad when it happens to anyone, but it won't change my opinion of her, and what she did when she had the chance. I think it would be hard to argue with the sentiment that some things she did needed doing. But many of them would have been done much better by someone who actually had a heart.
