"The British people have spoken. They said, 'No.'"
"Britain's decline is not inevitable. It is a choice."
"If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing."
"I still get up in the morning and do my own hair."
"I always cheer up immensely if anything is said to me that is particularly wounding, because I think, 'There is someone who need not be considered.'"
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.
