Forbes article about Mrs Thatcher ‘who will be remembered as one of the worst British political leaders of modern times’ reminds me of Churchill’s comment about democracy being the worst system of government except for all the others which have been tried from time to time.
What a crock of BS. I lived in Europe and did a lot of business in the UK(or tried to) most of the Thatcher years. Without Thatcher and her reforms of unions, finance and govt compnaies the UK would look like Romania before the fall.
When I first went there the unions were in control. Most of their industries looked like 1890’s and the main way the business made money was by buying and selling companies, not products. The unions would have not have completed the ruin without the voters and Thatcher stepping in.
Even without the Falklands war..she was a great leader and should be credited with helping to destroy the evil empire..a great human rights achievement.
If the UK doesn’t want her library..then build it in a remaining free state in the US..like Texas where her Grandchildren live.
