"To wear your heart on your sleeve isn't a very good plan; you should wear it inside, where it does the most good."
"Britain's decline is not inevitable. It is a choice."
"Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy."
"The British people have spoken. They said, 'No.'"
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.
