"If you are thick enough to believe that one person invented and promoted and was responsible for "unbridled greed" in our fellow human beings then more fool you"

Eh? Who said it was one person Teribus? No where do I see a suggestion Thatcher is responsible for all the greed in our fellow human beings.

"Likewise the policies were continued and adopted by some of her most severe detractors because they work"

Well, it depends who you are doesn't it? it may have worked for you Mr.T but there are plenty of people who it didn't work for then and it still doesn't work for now. The continuation of the monetarist policies instigated by Thatcher is not an indication of how successful they are, but how weak and idealogically corrupt the watered-down socialist wonks of New Labour were and are - in thrall to the capitialist con and effectively abandoning their original supporters who voted them in on a platform of social equality and justice.

"but then that is what a real "leader" is supposed to do - provide leadership if even if the pill is bitter to swallow"

If you're thick enough to believe that, then more fool you.
