More from Margaret Thatcher
"I always cheer up immensely when I see a headline that says 'Minority of One'."
"I believe in the family. I believe in the nation. I believe in freedom. I believe in enterprise. And I believe in the future."
"I think I have a reputation for being a bit of a battleaxe. And I don't mind that."
"I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph."
"Freedom is indivisible. If you give it to one, you have to give it to all."
About Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)
British Prime Minister (1979-1990) whose free-market reforms and confrontation with trade unions defined the late-20th-century right. Closely associated with Ronald Reagan (her closest international ally). For an intellectual contrast, see Tony Benn, Labour cabinet minister and democratic-socialist figurehead — Benn was the loudest parliamentary opposition to Thatcherism throughout the 1980s. His diaries and Thatcher's autobiography are the two opposing histories of the period — Britain's class politics is structured around which view was right.
