"I am not anti-European. I am anti-federalist."
"I am not prepared to have my policies dictated by the trade unions."
"I was told I would never get into the House of Commons. I was told I would never get into the Cabinet. I was told I would never be Leader of the Opposition. And I was told I would never be Prime Minis…"
"I am still of the opinion that we are not going to get better by spending more money. We are going to get better by spending it more wisely."
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.
