"How truly pathetic do you twats want to make yourselves look?"
The voice of wisdom resonating in true tThatcher fashion

Then mass murderer, Augusto Pinochet was put under house arrest in order to stand trial for his crimes, Thatcher took up his cause and demanded his release.
From a platform draped with crossed Chilean and British flags in a hall in Westminster, she described those who arrested the fascist dictator as "running a police state" and declared his regimes actions of mass murder, wholesale rape and torture as her kind of "democracy" - there, but for the grace of God, would have gone Britain under her continuing leadership.

In addition, some 200,000 people suffered exile and an unknown number went through clandestine centers and illegal detention."
