oops, bad wording. Fair dinkum? I didn't realise she was that old. I still think of her being exactly as she was when she was Prime Minister

They were just talking about her on Q&A...

discussing that even though she was the first female PM in England she was pretty much left to the lecture circuit by her party... no plum job like the blokes got...

She had an amazing life...

The woman who dragged the UK out of the past & the grip of the unions (3 day week) into a vibrant competitive country.

She was the confidant of Gorbachov & saw the end of communism of the Eastern bloc. She was a giant of a woman, her political tenure was world changing & in the end her party betrayed her.

She left parliament & made a very short statement (no long maudlin I am proud of the fact speech) no tears & nowhere to live.

She never played the misogynist card, she never lost her composure, she never turned nasty or vincictive & she had many reasons to do so.

She was a lady of the highest order, a giant among the giant men of the times.

what i find amusing is the constant ''UK's first female prome minister'' shouldn't that be 'only' or 'last' ? echoes of australia .. women and men alike find that hard to deal with. will julia be "australia's First female PM'' or 'last and only' female PM ?

Rip argentine soldiers.
