“Churchill’s less popular in Britain than he is with many Americans.”

“Britons also don’t have the affection for Thatcher than American conservatives do.”

Total baloney. Only the liberals in England think those things and that tell us a lot about you.

Yes, and if he’s less popular, why do they keep making excellent tv shows and movies about him: Robert Hardy, Albert Finney and Gary Oldman are only 3 actors who have portrayed him in heroic fashion by the Brits.

I don't even know why I bother responding to your post, but Britain's a very different country from the US.

First of all, most of England is liberal compared to the US. Why else would the elect the leaders they do?

Secondly, Thatcher's own party gave her the boot in 1990.

She wasn't that popular with the party Establishment from the beginning, but she didn't have much of a base left by the time she was done.

40% of the country hated her all along and by the time she left only 20% approved of her.

There is some respect for her abilities in Britain, but Thatcher was never as popular with the British people as she was with US conservatives.
