Margaret Thatcher


For those who want to use Margaret Thatcher as an example, be sure you know some background about what she has done. Among these are:
1) Falklands War where she fought to victory to retain a colony of the British far away in Argentina
2) her battle against the trade unions in Britain as she scaled Britain down from an unhealthy state welfare model
3) privatisation of important industries as opposed to having them state-owned (think how SIA/DBS/PSA/SingTel/SMRT today is private companies as opposed to being owned by our govt)
4) serves as a 'bridge' between the US and USSR during the Cold War period
5) opposed the move to have UK join the EU and adopt the euro currency....her famous 'No! No1 No! speech. (if not for this, UK would have been sucked deep into the Euro Crisis currently plaguing the EU)
