The Iron Lady, May She Rust in Peace

The funeral of Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady as she was known, is next Wednesday. I saw this headline above I thought it quirky.

She won the Falklands war and she crushed the power of the corrupt unions and she allowed working people to buy their government-owned council houses. Those that did made a bomb. She deregulated the financial sector and she tried to liberate Britain from the creeping malaise of too much government.

Later the socialist regimes of Blair and Brown bought in the Nanny State, the Health and Safety insanity, endless rules and regulations, massive debt and deficit spending, and a fiscal policy of high taxes that came to be known as “equal poverty for all”.

The time of Thatcher was the last time Britain was free. God rest her soul, she wasn’t perfect but she meant well. Stuart Wilde www.stuartwilde.com
