i don't think you can ever make Thatcher fans give a shit about society and admit to the damage she inflicted on this poor nation.

they were obviously not living in a place where the ravages of her actions confronted you every day.

that was the secret of her success. she took care of the people in the constituencies that voted for her.

i can remember some members of my wife's family who lived in Sussex not far from Cambridge coming up to see us in Nottinghamshire.

Recession....what recession? they asked.

i think a statue would be pretty safe in those places.
