Passing away in the UK Monday morning following a stroke, the staunchest ally of President Ronald Reagan has died at the age of 87.
Margaret Thatcher was not only the first woman to lead any form of a major Western government, she was the first and only UK female Prime Minister.
Remembrances in Britain are running primarily along the lines of “she was a good PM but divisive, cold, uncaring, war-like, unmovable” and the like.
UK, let me distill things down for you: she saved your ass.

P.S.
The “Iron Lady” at work:
She was a good friend to the USA, and did the right things for Britain, and no she was NOT liked by Labour over there…
“Too harsh, too judgmental.”
Translated: “we didn’t receive sufficient Free Cheese from the Iron Lady.”

Clear thinking and strong principals – not attractive to the consuming segment.
The last great leader is gone.
Rest in Peace Dear Lady, you had more GUTS than most men, and when you get to heaven let Ronald Regan know, we miss him too…
To have those 2 back in a position of leadership, ah, we should be so lucky…
Ever so true, sir.
