    Saint Margaret was NOT a popular figure in the first part of her Prime Ministership .
    It would be unwise , therefore , to predict whether Cameron might rise to her exalted heights .
    He is unlikely to make the same type of mistake as Margaret appeared to -- she actually was a very caring and compassionate woman .
    David exists in conditions and a climate where a Hero can quickly emerge .
    It is a rash person who tries to forecast the un-forecastable !!

    STATECRAFT - MARGARET THATCHER
    http://onwardjames.blogspot.com/2010/03/statecraft-margaret-thatcher.html

    I have read two books by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and utilize "Statecraft" as a reference book. Canada Free Press posted it on their online news.

    From your blog:

    Which resulted in our utility bills going through the roof, and the actual owners of these companies (the tax payers) receiving nothing back on their investment.

    Which was the start of the banking crisis.

    For 80's yuppies, who leached of the working classes

    For the rich, and a few months before an election, for the poor (nice bribe).

    Again, the London City yuppy culture, which ended the UK's manufacturing and placed all income in the hands of bankers.

    Fighting over some islands at the other side of the world.

    Which none of the British public wanted.

    In my opinion, P. M. Stephen Harper deserves some credit for how he handled the G-8 back in 2011.

    ...I am a member of a different Canadian political party but……… I have to admit that P. M. Stephen Harper is for good reason regarded as a rather "Davidic" figure by a high percentage of Israelis.

    What he did for Israel back in 2011 at the G-8 was one of the most courageous and wise acts by a political leader that I have seen since I began to watch world events back in the '70's!

    Thatcher brought Britain back from a socialist mess.

    Socialism is fun until you run out of other people's money.
