I don't exactly know much about it as it happened before my time, so that may not be 100% accurate, but it's roughly what happened.

Thatcher became the first woman Prime Minister.
Thatcher stole the little kids milk.
Thatcher ass-rammed the Unions.
Thatcher survived my assasination attempt on her.
Thatcher handed over her mess to John Major when she resigned.
I don't follow America's Union action very much at all, but in the UK they really have little power (other than the railway worked union), I wish they had more clout. I'm constantly screwed becuase of the lack of Union influence in my work place.
