The interview with Saatchi above is revealing. He says, in answer to the question 'why did Thatcher seem to lack heart ( in the allowing of so much unemployment etc)', that she wanted to make the UK 'great'. To play with people's lives in the hope to make your country 'great' sounds crude and dangerous. The comparison with Germany's unification is telling. Where the Germans have clearly made their country 'great' but with the bringing together not dividing of its people.
