Not who you're looking for? Others named Margaret Thatcher: fictional character in the television series Due South
Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher was a British stateswoman who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She was the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century and the first woman to hold the office. As prime minister, she implemented policies that came to be known as Thatcherism. A Soviet journalist dubbed her the "Iron Lady", a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style.
“In considering our traditional ties with the Commonwealth we should remember that it now differs greatly from the entity which existed 20 or 30 years ago. Many of us do not feel quite the same allegiance to Archbishop Makarios or Doctor Nkrumah or to people like Jomo Kenyatta as we do towards Mr. Menzies of Australia.”
“Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.”
“Quoted by Ian Aitken in "Points of Order" The Guardian (29 January 1988).”
“In my lifetime all our problems have come from mainland Europe and all the solutions have come from the English-speaking nations across the world.”
“In 1979, blue collar Britain rescued this country when they backed Margaret Thatcher, rejecting the socialism of the elite. Despite endless expert economists objecting to the tough economic medicine Mrs Thatcher prescribed, it was blue collar Britain stuck with her as she turned our country around. She was elected four times in a row, never losing an election.”
“Thatcher could congratulate herself on being, in a very real sense, godmother to the Reagan–Gorbachev relationship.”
