Margaret Thatcher Passes away.

Not a bad innings at the age of 87yrs.

I reported that post with the oversized pic. Sorry about that messing with your screen  🙂

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.

May she RIP......brilliant woman ahead of her time. Elegant to the end.

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.

Spot on LL.  Not for another thousand years.

The bitter vetch has been drunk.

My daughter knew who shes was because of the movie, which was brilliant with Meryl Streep, did anyone see it?

[**meep**]

May she RIP

(Lake, out of respect if for nothing else, also spare a thought for those who lost their lives fighting against communist regime.)
