She won three General Elections, so plenty of people must have been in favour of her policies, me included.
Liverpool, Sheffield, Glasgow etc were already ruined by the unions.

Plenty of people did vote for her. As is the nature of our elections, not the overwhelming majority her supporters would like us to think.
Elected the first time with 43.9% of the vote.
Elected second time with 42.3% of the vote.
Elected the third time with 42.2% of the vote.
Considering she had the Falkland factor, the Union bashing factor, sympathy about Brighton, success with the cold war etc etc, it doesn't sound like she had the resounding support of the country that it was made out to be.
We can disagree all day about the cities she ruined. Tell your side to the working class inhabitants of those great cities and see how far it gets you.
