She kicked started the U.K. into becoming a service industry country, opened up capital markets.

She left a legacy behind that many will never ever forget.

Two completely different backgrounds, both with very different objectives and agendas.

The Grocers Daughter and The Queen That Never Was.

A childhood friend of mine was one of her jet pilots when she was in the States. She rocked!

Probably necessary at the time but today our greatest flaws are a lack of industry and a lack of social housing. We have a flu going around that came from China and they were equipped by Thatcher and Blair, the latter being described by Thatcher as "one of us".

They discovered that a higher rate of usury could be drawn from sweating the east instead of equipping the west. And how's that worked out?

Nowadays we are discovering the costs of making life piss easy for a bit. Having a ballooned middle class that was never any good. You're a teacher because you one speak one language; English. Where do you think this came from? Crap middle class

There are other countries that managed to deal with the trade unions without destroying the factory and surrounding community.

And who are Thatchers babies? They're either chavs or woke kids from the middle class. We have been divided into a degenerated working class and this woke middle class whose parents were this fake teacher, this middle class that wasn't. Woke is gravely mistaken to believe it can repeat their parents lack of competence and still be middle class.

I don't really see a Britain that became more productive, more a Britain where being productive doesn't really matter.

The big difference between social democracy and neoliberalism was the division of spoils. The good side of town got better without having to be any good, the poor side went to the dogs. Before Thatcher the spoils were much more universal whereas after they were more particular. If you happened to own a property in London you became instantly upper middle class. You became very wealthy through a system that transferred the future from the west to the east. As a temporary middle man.

This song was dedicated to Maggie...

I"t's just a rumour that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin
Once again"

Some great quotes that inspired me throughout my life were :

“ if you set out to be liked , you will be prepared to compromise on anything at anytime & you will accomplish nothing “
