hedda Bob Carr recalls Margaret Thatcher's 'unabashedly racist' comment about Australia
hedda Margaret Thatcher is compared to Churchill and the comparison demonstrates a great change in the UK.

Churchill united people at a desperate time and was successful.

He was immediately dispensed with by the same people when his job was concluded.

In contrast Thatcher was lauded endlessly by a fawning media as the "cult of personality " developed around politicians.

I blame the Devil Incarnate Rupert Murdoch who hated and still hates the British "establishment" and set out to mould the UK in his vision.

he has succeeded.
JK2006 I think the key is not so much not caring what people think of you but being prepared to be unpopular if you're truly doing the right thing for the country (as I'm sure she believed though she was often mistaken) as opposed to caring so much what the media tell the people to think about you that you only do things which can at least be painted as popular.
honey!oh sugar sugar. It must be wonderful to not care what people think. I sometimes see people at the shops in pyjamas and curlers talking loudly about their thrush and they always look blissfully happy.
hedda I reckon she was the Kim Jong Un of Finchley and just as bat-shit crazy.

I recall reading many times that those who worked with her thought she was bonkers.
