THE IRON LADY
Dubbed the "Iron Lady" for her firm opposition to the Soviet Union, she implemented a number of conservative policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.
the first woman to head a major political party in the United Kingdom. She became prime minister after winning the 1979 general election.
Thatcher Thatcher, Milk Snatcher
Prime Minister (1979–1990)
responsible for: eradicating socialism; supporting capitalism; cutting income tax for very high earners from 83% to 40%; privatising state industries and state housing; pushing for Victorian family values; national recession; endless inner-city riots; bringing down the mining industry. Oh, and pitching our men into a bloody and pointless war just so she could win a second term.
Britain's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was a decisive and divisive figure, loved and hated in equal measure. Is the complex character behind the Iron Lady facade obscured behind reminiscences fond and hostile
Opinion in the country was sharply divided, of course, hence her victory in three general elections.
"Whether we supported or opposed her during her years in power, Margaret Thatcher's legacy continues to shape the society in which we live today”
