Margaret Thatcher Is Dead ...

[Yogur griego]

I think she took the decision to sink the Belgrano in the exclusion zone.

El 2 de mayo de 1982, Thatcher autorizó el ataque del submarino HMS Conqueror al crucero de la Armada General Belgrano, en lo que constituyó el momento más controvertido del conflicto que enfrentó al Reino Unido y la Argentina por la soberanía de las islas del Atlántico Sur.

El General Belgrano navegaba fuera del área de exclusión de 200 millas en torno a las Malvinas fijada por Londres y en dirección hacia la costa continental argentina. "Estaba en un área que representaba un peligro para nuestras naves", justificó años después Thatcher, durante una entrevista.

A singularly unpleasant individual who, in some instances at least, managed to do the right things for the wrong reasons.

Young Maggie...!! EU outfit.
My favorite Thatcher anecdote ; they claim she opposed the Euro Channel Project, because the Garlic smell would come across
from France....

Thatcher was even more masculine than Churchill.

I feel like a schoolgirl compared to her.

She did a lot more good to Argentina than the UK.

[font="Arial""]This is so weird, because she was a horrible person but for woman everywhere she is an inspiring role model. Why is that? Why being ruthless is a good thing? Why do we admire success and not moral fiber? Something is very wrong with the world when we just promote the death of ideals.[/font]

I could not care less for Galtieri. Hard as it is for some Argentines, Maggie is the mother of a long lasting democracy in Argentina.
I was thinking almost everyone else.

Being from NI I have almost an apologetic respect for the woman who for us off Island Brits represented some hope against the IRA who were killing our familiy members (I know let's not open the whys and wherefores of that chesnut) and I genuinely admire her pure common sense by this quote that has been posted here before but is just so spot on and represents what is sorely lacking in that bunch of vanilla, champage socialist crew in power or pretending to power these days:

"I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation."
