Twenty-five years ago, Margaret Thatcher became the first woman Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. As Prime Minister, Thatcher privatized many British industries which had been nationalized after the end of World War II and started the British down the road to a free market economy.
Margaret Thatcher was a stalwart champion for the Free World (with Ronald Reagan and George Bush) and for her country’s part, helped bring about the downfall of the Soviet Union. Back in 1982, she sent the Royal Navy to the Falkland Islands to take them back from Argentina. Result: when they got there the Brits promptly kicked Argentina’s ass!
To this day, she remains steadfast in her support of freedom and democracy as a member of the House of Lords...and in reality, a real Lady!
Aside from President Bush and his father, if there were any other leader I’d like to meet, it’d be this Iron Lady. To that I raise my glass and say, THANK YOU LADY THATCHER!
