Indeed, but what struck me is the memo stating that no more written records should be kept of their plan for economic devastation of whole communities in Britain.
To me that tops last years cabinet papers revelations about abandoning entire major cities and leaving them to rot because they had voted for the "wrong" party, as at least that plan in her warped ideological crusade was not carried through.

Scargill was left wing and Thatcher was right wing. Conservatives and Unions have never got on. Arthur was right and it would not matter at the time if the Thatcher new this, they were at war, and there was only ever going to be one outcome.

Ditto - but the intransigence on both sides didn't help, either.

Ah, but did she? She ended up being hoisted by her own petard after all.

Good point, did she? She ended up with lots of huge extra expenditure in the very areas she wanted to cut costs in, and of course she was hoisted by her own party when they realised she genuinely was crazy.
