Even Teribus seems to have missed the point of this thread.
Its not about whether on not Thatcher was a good leader, but whether her remarks about "society" were valid.

I detested Thatchers ideology almost as much as I detest Blair personally, but there is a ring of truth about her opinion of the British electorate.
Are we really only motivated by self interest.
With the death of Saddam today, why are we all saying on another thread that the monster deserves to die, yet turn our heads away from the death and mutilation of innocent women and children, caused in part by our support for "our monsters".

Double standards and hypocrisy abound......Ake
