The Iron Lady is back. And listen (or read, as it were) to what Lady Thatcher, 25 years after her election as British PM, has to say:

"We are quite old. But we are still fighting ... the old ones are always the best".

"We even converted our opponents, but conversions of convenience rarely last and they start to go wrong. Left-wing politicians fall back on Left-wing remedies."

"They spend, they tax, they borrow - and as problems pile up they demand still more taxpayers' money, and then they demand another chance. But they don't deserve it and they mustn't get it."

"When you are in office, it is not enough to have the right intentions, although that helps. It is not enough to seek the best advice, although that is important. In the end, you have to believe in what you are doing and be able to carry the nation with you."


Does the world miss her or what? A giant among pygmies!
