    As someone born in Hong Kong, I think Ms. Thatcher's successful negotiation with Deng Xiaoping to hand Hong Kong back to Chinese control while maintaining the free capitalist system was beneficial in the end. If she wasn't there, Hong Kong probably would be just another Chinese city.

    This should set the standard for journalists interviewing somebody. It should not be the pinnacle. But it is. This is the best interview show beind made these days.

    This was an excellent interview with John O'Sullivan. I was a teen when Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister in 1979. I am an admirer still.

    His last statement encapsulates what we will miss, the example.

    25:41 "She herself was in the room until 3 in the morning?" "Exactly."
    Hmmm. It certainly wasn't like that when I wrote for Ronnie!

    Thatcherism opened the door to Blairism and Globalisation
    I wonder if she knew that ?
    She also saw off small c social conservatism and opened the door to rampant liberalism without restraint.
    She also Americanised the UK to a greater degree than any other PM before.
    I regret giving her my vote now but at the time the options were rather limited.
    Looking back I just should have spoiled my ballot paper.

    It's amazing, because I was about to ask the very same question.

    The GOP should be framing after Margaret Thatcher.

    Lovely. She was the greatest human and leader that ever existed, as far as I know. Her acid test for the worth of an action was, more than anything, its effect on freedom. A pure English heart.
    On her passing, one of the BBC's most beloved Commiedians wrote, "She was never a real woman, anyway." She would never submit to twisted mindsets, tyrants or thugs, so she was definitely not his type. The same day, the BBC and its comrades in the record industry were gleefully pushing their Progressive hate in the form of a song, using the money forced from the population to pay for this miraculous manufactured popularisation.
