Beautiful empty words spoken by Thatcher, carefully crafted by her and no doubt her speechwriter. She spouted a quotation from St Francis on the way in to Downing St in 1979 too. Just words. Actions speak louder unfortunately.

I've never bought this stuff about her being a puppet for Joseph, Ridley et al, who as Ian says were clearly barking. She is (was) an intelligent woman who had a project and knew what she was doing. She was also a small minded provincial ***** (er, imho).
