Best Prime Minister since Churchill and no one in the offing to equal her in my lifetime unfortunately. I recall leaving the section House in Molyneaux Street Paddington with my supply of candles and sit in the bar of the Laurie Arms with my colleagues. Fortunately electric disruptions did not affect the tills or the Ale dispensers as they do today. Bit like...

it is however undeniable that she possessed a formidable intellect
nope
sozza - her tutor was Dorothy Hodgkin - ( Nobel for describing crystal structure of Vit B12 ) and she said Thatcher was middling - poss jobbing.

and the oddest thing about this post ( beside you can understand it) is that the textile expert I was with on an archological site just Norf ovva Sudanese border 1978 - Elisabeth Crowfoot was the sister of Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin.

and never told us
Thatcher did nothing for the good of the country. She did things that benefitted a small minority by using her vindictiveness. Everyone laughed at Scargill when he said there would be 100 pit closures and 50,000 job losses under Thatcher. She used the Army to quell the strikes, squaddies dressed in police uniforms, who were handsomely paid.

Having said that, I've never been keen on strike action, as much as I sympathised with the miners, steel workers etc. I always felt that the argument was lost, the minute there was strike action. There were other measures that could have been taken. But it's history now and we live with the dreadful legacy of Thatcher, right-to-buy, privatisation among them. I say again, good riddance to bad rubbish.
And a bright 'good morning' to you too.
