Why the 80s are so controversial - and it's not the music

No one should want to go back to the 80s – not even the Tories | Andrew Rawnsley http://gu.com/p/33k7y

Atilla the Hen

The impending release of The Iron Lady has thrown up a few 'legacy of Thatcher' type articles including THIS ONE from the Telegraph which runs counter to the theory that Thatcher's influence can be seen everywhere, by arguing that what's needed is more Thatcherism.

2009 saw the 30th anniversary of her first election victory as Conservative leader. THIS one claims that Thatcher's aim - a more moral society - was undermined by her methods.

Reassuringly predictable articles from The Telegraph and the New Statesman.
