    She’s from Lincolnshire and grew up in a flat above a grocers shop, and went to a fee paying girls school thanks to winning a scholarship. Hardly ‘home counties privileged background’. In fact, the shining example of someone from a humble background rising to the very top through hard work and determination. I disagree with Mrs Thatcher on several issues, but I would not accuse her of being bigoted, scared of hard work or opposed to meritocracy.

      I didn't think it was possible, but every day I have a lower opinion of you.

          I know that and I didn't say otherwise. But whe she married wealthy "businessman" (what?) Dennis she joined the rich and started thinking only of them.

          Evil woman. I'm not a champagne socialist but I have a bottle ready for when I hear the long-awaited news of her death. Thirty years too late, alas. Witch.

              She exposed the myth that socialism was virtuous. And I am afraid that you ARE a champagne socialist. Just as she married a wealthy businessman so have you become wealthy.. ironically because of the reforms that she made.

                A socialist is someone who has nothing and wants to share it with everyone else.

                  No, she didn't. I left the UK 5 days after she was elected, and earned everything I have myself.

                    Like what? I mean, just supposing that I had been in the UK, what did she do that would have made me wealthy?


                    BTW I didn't marry a wealthy businessman, as she did.
