If you look at things a little more objectively, you will find that things were 'sold off' to pay the massive debt inherited from the previous government. I can't remember the exact figures, but I seem to remember that the UK economy was in about position 57 in the world when she took over, and was in free fall.
Turning that around was no small feat, and yes, a lot of people got hurt in the process, but without it we would have had an economic situation similar to that in Argentina of late. As the saying goes, you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.
People aren't eggs though.
