A Tribute to Margaret Thatcher--30 Years On

Yep. They’re definitely living in a post-Thatcher world over there.

Sad.

And even sadder? We’re not all that far behind them! Grrrrr!

(Mrs. Thatcher and I are smack-dab on top of one another when charted on ‘The Political Compass.’ She’s one of my heroes.)

Did I miss something? This article reads like Lady Thatcher was dead. I certainly missed that news if it happened.

More Thatcher in Reagan than Reagan in Thatcher, I suspect.

When Thatcher got done with you, you’d been “hand-bagged”. I always loved that.

I have always admired Mrs. Thatcher. I read a couple of biographies about her, most they seemed a bit snarky.

She was a strong leader when strong leadership was needed.

From what I read and occasionally see on BBC America, she does not get any respect from the present day British folk. Sad, I hope she is remembered kindly and may God bless her forever.
