After 50 years, can’t we shut down this cult of Margaret Thatcher? Just look at the mess she made of Britain | Polly Toynbee

NOh it is an opera. After Margaret Thatcher, from the legend to the famous worlds, raises a picture that remembers Elizabeth I. Historian Dominique Sandbrook writes Liberto her story, as one of them wanders in the Trecht Trech ups in the next term. Witness this week James Graham Brian and Magi Drama about an interview that helped her fall. Next week, Radio brings us 4 When Larry Maggie metTim Walker play, which the viewer imagines when Lawrence Olivier trained the Minister of Education in Ingeno in the art of the masses and even seduction of the masses.

This week signs The fiftieth anniversary of the election of the Tatcher As a leader of her party. I started counting, but I lost the path of countless actors who played her, some of our greatest time. Harright Walter was greatAs it was always. thus Gillian Anderson and Merrill Strip. Leslie Manfil He was fine, as it was Patricia HodgeAnd I am sure that Francis Barber will be next week at the Walker’s Radio play. Nothing but theater and screen kings are decent to play.

Many of these dramas are completely excellent, overwhelmed with magnetic manifestations to overcome the nature of the leader who made herself a legend. Like Elizabeth I, she designed herself in embodying a logo, with great gold hair, pussy brackets, sculpted shoulders, a well -trained sound with the words of the playwright writer, designed in an immediately recognized image from Asia.

The problem is that good writers and good actors will produce human drama of depth, accuracy and intelligence in a personality, if defective, the audience should feel it. This is what imagination requires. The book will tend instinctively to its polished creativity well, as the grocery daughter who is almost drained above the store in Grantham, and many refusal to choose for seats, abscess and sexual discrimination of her party’s grandchildren, who triumphed over them for three large victories. But she was not like the Earth’s sector, like the daughter of the Conservative Party, very typical, while her marriage to millions of millionaires motivated her political life. The man toppled him as a leader, Edward HeathIt came from a modest background: Ibn Khadam and Najjar, after Ramsemit was the rules and fighting in World War II, he knew more than the working classes more than she knew.

Each piece of her life story was hurt in a drama, and she is usually convincing: I watch them all with magic. But the plays cannot really do things from politics: drama is surprised by rows, competitions, defeats and conquests, but political issues are dry terrain, and quickly moved to the most prevalent topics. The inevitable result is that even the smart book and the political cunning, such as James Graham, ends up in whitening what Taccher and its policy already did to Britain. This 50 -year mark comes at a time of sadness when its actions on the country recover with revenge. Opinion policies show the policies that most of these voters are now. Let’s look at her legacy.

A person who raises more than her allegations to provide the grocery daughter is to dispel the revenues of the North Sea that came fine as she arrived in No. 10. After very bad privatization, she spent tax income; If you saved like NorwayIt will be a will to have a sovereign wealth box with hundreds of billions.

It inherited a country Significant transition towards economic equalityBut its policies in the eighties of the last century caused the high wages and wealth, while the bottom decizile declined. Unemployment has remained at this high level since then. “Big Bang” caused the covering of severe financial profits, which means wealth for a few, instead of economic stability. Providing unions, It caused a sharp decrease in the share of wages from GDP. Industry and manufacturing manufacturing has been reduced. Winning the bitter battle with miners, due to Num Leader Arthur Arthur Scargill Mishanding, was not enough: mining societies punished, and let them not be unable to make or other exercises, leaving social scars that are still 40 years deep.

Other parties envied their popular sale to the council’s homes to tenants at cut prices as a strike of the political genius to pay the democracy they possess in property. Now with the sale of the council’s spaces for a period of millions, many owners who ship astronomical rents, Home ownership in England decreased from 71 % At its peak to 65 %, it moves beyond the reach of young tenants, with the besieged country in the housing crisis.

Who will now celebrate its specialization for water, energy and British and a group of public goods at much lower than the market price? total 5 billion pounds in water debts were removedWith natural monopolies, they were not restricted by the weak organizers. The railway was privatized by behind it, after its faith. All this failure on an epic scale took decades of time and serial bankruptcy to confess.

The privatization of buses outside London led to a group of companies cutting roads and paying, higher prices, lower number of buses and less people who ride them. Maybe you didn’t say in reality Anyone in a bus between 26 years old It is a failure, but this summarized its position.

External sources have been used for all manual and administrative administrative work from the national and local authorities by FIAT. The salaries and low conditions were the only way that the likes of Serco and Capita can take advantage of taking these services, which is the inequality of other leadership.

the 1982 was saved by the Falkland War from the lowest survey of the Prime Minister. It was a majestic success to send a fleet to the other end of the earth and the victory of a strongly armed Argentine dictator. However, praise for her recklessness is like a child to survive the road.

The survey that it dropped was not declined, but it emerged from a profound belief in flat taxes, as it reduced higher tax rates. This idea of ​​equal taxes that I have wisely kept in choosing until then.

Most of these things inevitably slip from plays and films. There is a danger that will slip from the national memory, as conservative ThinkTanks, such as the exchange of policies, remember this week of anniversary about “its philosophy and its vision … its courage.” They cannot demand economic success except for the rich, without any improved productivity.

For fear of forgetting, the things that you have done causes us an irreplaceable damage now. It is not a history and certainly not entertainment. It is the unfortunate present.
