Very handy if we are ever locked out of our city.

Jim Prideaux seemed to think it was all caused by Socialism. Factories and industries closed down in the Netherlands in that time too and we didn’t have Thatcher. Some industries received large subsidies just before they closed down. I saw a programme on German television recently, about the changes and subsequent closure of a Opel factory.

Listen also this BBC Radio 4 programme:

Some industries declined during the Thatcher era, but were not necessarely caused by her.

Her retoric was out there of course, partly because of the rather adversarial nature of British politics, but changes in the economy would have happened irregardless of who was in power. In Leiden all the big factories (ironworks, food tinning company, clothing companies) closed in the 1970s and 1980s, causing poverty and misery.
Manufacturing is still going strong in the UK, see here:
