She is surely the worst prime minister in British political history

"She is surely the worst prime minister in British political history, rivaled only by her predecessor. The only thing to say in her favour is that she will very soon lose that title to her successor, given the rabble lining up to pitch for her job."

Have to say I agree I have no sympathy for incompetence or the stupidly obstinate. However its more likely that like Thatcher with the Falklands war, this was more by design than incompetence. Is there more at work here than we are seeing or is she really that vain that she cant see the writing on the wall. However, If Thatcher didn't design the events that led to the Falklands or May the events that led to the position the UK now finds itself in then we really only have incompetence to consider.

Thachers plans to dismantle the NHS

As time goes on and documents are released it becomes clearer the amount of lies told to an unsuspecting public.

 The plan commissioned by Margaret Thatcher and her chancellor, Sir Geoffrey Howe, included proposals to charge for state schooling.

PM declared the health service was ‘safe with us’ but secretly pressed on with radical proposals, archives reveal.

Margaret Thatcher secretly tried to press ahead with a politically toxic plan to dismantle the welfare state even after a “cabinet riot” and her famous declaration that the “NHS is safe with us”, newly released Treasury documents show.

The plan commissioned by Thatcher and her chancellor Sir Geoffrey Howe included proposals to charge for state schooling, introduce compulsory private health insurance and a system of private medical facilities that “would, of course, mean the end of the National Health Service”.

 Soapbox Opinion
A succession of Tory leaders since Thatcher have espoused the mantra "the NHS is safe with us" its clearly not. Its being set up to fail. Various private healthcare companies including Virgin cherry pick the best contracts and leave the NHS (The Tax Payer) to fund the dross. No doubt these contracts will be subsidised by the tax payer as well. Like they were in the railways. But I'd need to check that.

If you want a NHS the Tories should not be allowed anywhere near it.

It should probably be ring-fenced so that its safe from the meddling of all political parties.
