Are you going soft? or is that sarcasm?

No I'm completely serious.

No I'm completely serious.

Well hit me with a feather

Well hit me with a feather

Wrap it around a brick and your on!

As a Russophile I think this has more to do with the Soviets finally realising their system wasn't working.

Pretty sure Mrs T had little to do with it other than being in power at the time. Didn't she famously say to Gorbachëv, 'I hate Communism'?

She also said something along the lines that a cooperative communist is a desperate communist. The soviets. had run out of money. She was the first western leader to take Gorbachev seriously in his desires to open the USSR up.
