   Part of the real Thatcher legacy
   by Harry Paterson
   The institutionalized corruption of privatizing the nation's utilities so her mates in the City could get ever richer.
   The complete dismantling of entire industries and the communities that relied on them.
   Engineering the biggest transfer of wealth from the poorest to the richest ever seen in the UK up to that point.
   The Poll Tax, riots, poverty, record unemployment, the most draconian and repressive employment legislation anywhere in the developed world, more small businesses going to the wall than at any period prior to her rule, her defense of and friendship with Chilean mass-murdering dictator General Pinochet and the ruination of the NHS to name but a few of her achievements.
   The lady might not have been for turning but when that solemn procession passes you by, turn your back. Turn your back and, instead, remember the countless millions she gloatingly destroyed in pursuit of yet more wealth for her pals. Turn your back and think of "care in the community"; the elderly, the sick, the mentally ill and the infirm treated with all the compassion shown by a fox in a hen-house. Turn your back and remember her victims.
