    Well Thatcher wouldn't have wanted to create an aspirational society because she seemed to hate the whole concept of society. In fact she created aspirational individuals without any care or compassion for anyone else.

    She may be a "has-been” but what a has-been.
    So your point is that, because she's old she has no right to have her say, or nothing useful to say. I wonder what useful comments some of the young things would be able to contribute.

    Thank you Glenda, you've stuck to your principles. Good for you. Nil nisi bonum is not an absolute. It's far more important to tell it the way you saw and see it than to be seemly. We still have some notion of free speech, in Parliament above all!

    They were more innocent then the British soldiers of their time for the simple fact that those Argentinians soldiers were conscripts forced by the state to enlist. I can sympathize with that because I was also forced to comply with my National Service, just lucky to not be sent to war. The two generations before mine couldn't say the same, though. Agree that the Argentinian dictatorship had no right to invade the Falklands, showing a catastrophic error in their reading of UK's likely reaction

    That’s how it was at my school in the eighties. Weaker kids or poor kids weren’t allowed to be in the same classes as the middle class kids. My drama teacher actually said, “I want to teach attractive students”. And this was the Reagan years, Thatchers American counterpart. She’s exactly right.

    I note posts from who is crazy Glenda to Thatcher was evil belongs in Hell but that's all a little drastic. Glenda Jackson is extremely famous most on earth know her. Like Reagan, she started out as an actor & was the first to play the Queen Elizabeth 1st best performance in BBC mini series early 70s called Elizabeth R, many many films before & after before going into politics & is more of labor party or in the US would be Democrat. Thatcher was the UK version of Conservative & I assure everyone here there needs to be both or a nation ends in a one party system that becomes a dictatorship so there are checks & balances & both sides bring good things to balance things while both sides bring negative that gets balanced later by the other side.
    Think of a great nation as a plane. People are on-board jumbo Jet that must always fly never land & it takes how many wings to fly it? TWO. The plane will tilt to the right then to the left but always come out center so long as you have both wings so over time it works out best it could which is better than trying to fly with one wing or plane crashes into a dictatorship & no one on-board is happy & all really are hurt then! It's rather silly to argue about politics because each nation of somewhat Democracy needs two main parties. In the Social Federal Republic non Democracy US; for years it has been trying to move towards a Social Democracy but it means a bumpy flight & until it becomes a Democracy, there will be an Electoral College electing presidents rather than the citizens or pop vote so polls not only lie since people lie but mean zero. Obama was behind in polls both elections then won in both EC and pop landslides. He won more pop votes than any President in history while back when the EC would allow a person to gain all States, Reagan won that big missing only MN & VT then second time I think he got MN but still lost VT so was landslide unlike what can happen today in EC.
    EC has members under age 18 casting votes! Not even old enough to vote and then older people so they are who make it or break it in elections not posters on here per US. Canada is a Social Democracy meaning pop votes win and it is over from there. They don't send Israel 2 trillion a year tax money or Saudi same to support their social programs like the US does. Citizens in US complain about own social programs when the constitution says; the government shall protect, defend & provide FOR THE BASIC WELFARE of the People"! UK has similar terminology but only the US makes it clear separation of Church and State which it is not actually following through on.
