(Unless you were a union worker in one of the industries Thatcher stopped subsidising, I suppose)
Um, she did a little more than "stop subsidizing" them.

If nothing else it shows there's an important sense in which he was not a terrible politician but a very good one, contrary to the quoted text.

At least in my experience, women are the first to claim that sex is not a big deal and discourage anything that shames promiscuity or a lack of self control.
I think this is one of those things that's true as long as the conversation remains abstract and unspecific, but frequently falls apart as soon as the conversation is about a concrete scenario the person is actually facing (or can imagine in a particularly vivid way). Kind of like "there's no reason women shouldn't be the ones approaching men rather than the reverse", most women agree in theory but freak out as soon as it's suggested they themselves put it into practise.

Is there a "don't" or similar word missing near the end of that sentence?
That's what a bubble looks like. It's not even the first one that industry has seen (partially) this century - remember the dot-com "boom"?
