"..........................."I am not a consensus politician. I am a conviction politician," Thatcher announced when she took over in 1975."
I liked her style.

Rest in Peace.
Where are these kind of leaders now?
Seems we've traded Margaret Thatcher for stupid ones, perhaps thanks to affirmative action.

Mrs Thatcher- Rest In Peace. And, if you have time, please bestow some of your courage and common sense on today's leaders...

A real friend to the USA. The combination of her, Reagan, and Pope John Paul created real change in the world. Too bad we let the Socialist off the hook after that threesome had them on the run. God Bless and Rest in well deserved Peace Prime Minister Thatcher!

“We had to fight the enemy without in the Falklands. We always have to be aware of the enemy within, which is much more difficult to fight and more dangerous to liberty.” - Lady Margaret Thatcher
Rest in God's Peace, dear Lady. You will be missed

Thank God that we still have leaders in our midst, Special Forces Soldiers, Sir.
And am sure she was a friend of the Spec Ops community.

Always eminently quotable
"A man's right to work as he will, to spend what he earns, to own property, to have the state as servant and not as master, they are the essence of a free economy, and on that freedom all our other freedoms depend."
RIP, ma'am.
