That many years ago, I admired the fortitude Ms. Thatcher had to do the best job she could, while women in GB were not well accepted as politicians.
She hung in there for the long haul. It earned my respect, although I didn’t agree with all of her policies.
Since her time, there are many men I have no respect for at all. When does it get better?

She was voted back for three terms a total of 11 years RN. The longest term of any prime minister in the 20th century. So she must have been doing something right.
I think we need to reference post 58, and folks thinking beyond their station.

She would have tho! 
He’s the devil and she’d be his number one witch 
*During the European witch trials, folklore dictated that witches signed a pact with the devil, making them his earthly accomplices. They were believed to carry out his malevolent bidding in exchange for supernatural powers.
Not entirely convinced that referring to people who you disagree with as the devil and a witch is helpful.
Personally, I’d like to have asked her to explain what she intended to do to help those who her policies threw into personal crises, and how she intended to inculcate a replacement for local cohesion that would also be a corollary of her theories.

I agree @Dextrous63, name calling lowers the discussion to that of the playground. Mind you, I think Mrs Thatcher would have sorted that out, she didn’t tolerate fools.
I would ask her how she would deal with this rabble we have in Government at the moment, although I think I probably know the answer anyway.
Whatever anyone thinks of Mrs Thatcher we all knew where we stood with her; unlike the useless lot we have to put up with at the moment who change direction like the wind.

There seems to be a view that she was a dictator. In reality, she was voted in three times and the alternatives were not, which maybe suggests something about their policies, qualities and ability to communicate.
