Margaret Thatcher is dead

[Rum]

Anyone else think this is the biggest waste of energy since the mass-hysteria that passed for grieving over Diana?

Diana was a real case of mass hysteria for my money. She was almost a figure of fantasy. Swathes of the country went embarrassingly bonkers. Thatcher at least had a major impact, whatever one thinks of her.

Major impact? You mean like Little Boy and Fat Man had on Japan?

A youth wasted in the eighties is worth two wasted in the nineties and three in the past decade. Thatcher was a godsend.

Yes, though it is at least entertaining.

Pretty impressive that she managed to make more than 40% of the UK wealthy by 1987, based on the popular vote.

Or they thought they would get rich eventually if she did what she promised. That's how the Republicans here have keep a voter base for over a century, "pie tomorrow" promises.

The proportion of the American public who genuinely seem to think they're part of "The 1 percent" is very significantly higher than 1%...

Actually, it's the proportion that want to be in the 1%. They know they don't own billion dollar houses, but they're in the belief that they might, if the damn government would just get off their backs.
