Margaret Thatcher

Any thoughts on this controversial woman? I remember a lot where said about her.
So any thoughts on her and her actions?

Margaret Thatcher.

Well, she's British or something.

You either love or hate Margaret Thatcher, depending on how high your income is. As a pair of penniless beggars, my parents have raised me to loathe the woman with every fibre of my being.

Thatcher rules!

She's pretty hot. ;)

Seriously, I don't know much about her, but I heard she was very strict.

I think she was great, and definitely the best Prime Minister of modern times. Better than Callaghan, Major and Blair, that's for sure.

Thatcher = Hero.

and she invented the squirty cream in a can

and she was hot.

I was raised to hate her; this means inevitably that I <3 her.

Actually I've not looked deeply into her leadership, I just know it winds my mother and step-dad up to hear me sing her praises. xD

Psy loves her, so I love her. Even if he didn't, how could you say no to that face?

"She is a member of the Conservative Party and the figurehead of a political philosophy that became known as Thatcherism, which involves reduced government spending, lower taxes and regulation, a monetarist policy, and a programme of privatisation of government-owned industries." (Wikipedia)

Hell, so far, so good. Gets my vote.

Edit:"There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families." - Margaret Thatcher

Yeah, I guess I kind of like her, now. We need somoene in office like that over here.

THAT is the full quote?! I wish I'd known THAT every time either of my parents had dragged out the line "Thatcher claims there's no such thing as society!"

Context-dropping at its finest, eh?

I love Margaret Thatcher simply because of a script one of my friends came up with for a skit in our history class. The line was something about Andrew Jackson invading Florida with nothing but a sock puppet of Margaret Thatcher. That thing was hilarious.

For a second, I mistook Margaret Thatcher for Lizzie Borden. *hack-hack with an axe, fear is better than exlax*

She doesn't sound like a bad lady...I know little to nothing about her because I'm a silly American.
