The Economist had extensive coverage of the death of Margaret Thatcher in 2013, but I didn't see a single word of criticism of her in it.
IMHO, case closed and subscription cancelled.

As for her overall economic policies, the thing is she's been pretty comprehensively proved right. Britain was a basket case in the 1970s, crippled by a decade and more of misrule. The alternative at the time was the Foot Labour Government. Who honestly thinks they would have been a bettter choice for Britain? By the end of her reign Britain was an economic and financial powerhouse. Even on the issues she lost power over, refusing to support Geoffrey Howe and Nigel Lawson's desire to shadow the Deutschmark and join the single currency, it took more than a decade for her to be vindicated but she was finally proved absolutely right. Who now thinks joining the Euro would be a good idea?
When Tony Balir and Gordon Brown took over in 1997 they inherited a Thatecher economy and they didn't touch a single one of her landmark reforms. That's because it's a system that works, and they knew it. The mistake they made was to overindulge in debt because they misread the timing of the economic cycle, but fundamentally the british economic engine is pretty strong. That's why we're powering ahead of Europe again despite the ongoing effects of all that debt.
They are in general in favour of Thatcher. Why would you get a subscription in the first place, if that makes you cancel it? They don't keep their biases secret.

Anyone in north america lives in a hard right fascist state. Both canada and the US are completely fascist, and the "liberal wing" isn't. The liberal wings of USA and canada are hard right conservative.
