The day that Thatcher died

"continue" would suggest some progress already. Sorry, but employment and standards of living for the less well off are exactly the same as when I left school (ie. fucking bleak) there has been no progress. Successive governments (of which a significant portion were labour) have made no attempt to put right any of the things that people vilify Thatcher for. That's as despicable as Thatcher at her worst.

I said 'continue to try', and that certainly doesn't imply progress. I also said that it is 'now more of an uphill struggle than ever before'.
