Evil auld **** - may she roast.


She may have upset people but, boy, did she put a rotting, continually
union striking Britain back on its feet.


Best Post WW2 PM this country has had ... like Churchill, once the hard
work was done people turned on her.

Not many British PM's are even known outside the country, everyone knew
Margaret Thatcher.

Everyone knew Hitler and Stalin too.

I feel we are approaching Godwin's law again ;-)

I purposely chose examples of people who had probably become far better
known than their countries.

But who were essentially irrelevant to the world as a whole.

Maggy, Adolf and Joe were not.

My view is that possibly does not apply to these two.

Sure, but that's not really relevant to whats being discussed.

(Plus self-conscious avoidance of Godwin.)

**** Godwin.
