One of Margaret Thatcher's legacies, that I haven't seen mentioned here, was the situation in Northern Ireland. Her failure or unwillingness to understand the situation caused the killings to go on for longer than could have been the case if a less hostile approach had been adopted. On occasion, she made provocative statements that seemed to deliberately reignite a situation that was calming down.

Her failures in this regard contrast with the later achievements of Major and Blair (and others). Lives could have been saved if a desire to do so was demonstrated earlier.

tbf, the killing in Ireland (ask any nationalist) have been going on for 800 years. Pretty ridic to single out 11 years of Thatcher and say she extended it. Just nonsense

That said, I spoke with a good Nationalist friend of mine in the week and he was certainly Ok with the fact that the 'murderous ****' was dead but saw her as one in a long line of English murderous *****.  This, my grave dancing friends, is perspective, not the myopic, trite dissing so many engage in.

Sounds like this guy was the one we had to ban after his comments on the 'Cromwell dead?' thread we had back in 1658.

Typical mod comment - they actually dug up cromwell and the rest of the regicides and killed them again so the guy was quite right and not trolling.

Killing was certainly not at the same level of intensity for most of that time. It is possible that the step-by-step move to peace could have taken place a decade earlier if the government had responded differently or introduced positive initiatives of its own. Instead there were just measures which made the situation worse. Quite a contrast with what happened later. So I do think she played a significant part in extending one of the worst periods of violence, leading to hundreds more deaths.
