Margaret Thatcher
.... was clearly the BEST PRIME MINISTER since Sir Winston Churchill. The LEFT of course have successfully DEMONIZED her as they do with anyone they disagree with who could be a danger to them. Enoch Powell and Tommy Robinson are just two other examples. The demonization uses a principle favoured by Hitler.
Andy Burnham (the unelected new PM of Britain in a government elected with a huge majority by TWENTY-ONE PER CENT of eligible voters) BLAMES Thatcher for all of Britain's problems and wants to return to the 70s - which he seems not to know were plagued with inflation, strikes and the rapid decline of British industry and much else.
