I think he was the sort of husband who allowed her to grow without competing with her or being jealous of her. Every woman's dream.

he was already a millionaire by the time Maggie became PM, i think jealousy was pretty low down on the list anyway haha

Marilyn Ikr? If that TV series “The Crown” is anything to go by, Prince Philip was a right old PITA about his having to take “2nd place” to Elizabeth. Made her job harder than it already was. Hopefully it’s just a lot of exaggeration for the sake of drama.

[@MeMyself-jz9ms]

She’d been in too long.. just like when Blair had been in too long, she certainly had started to believe her own hype. There’s a sort of mental health problem that develops..it’s not exactly that power corrupts, but it warps leaders ability to see themselves realistically. She’d begun to see herself as a sort of monarch. It really was time she retired. She wasn’t listening to those around her. They reluctantly felt they had to force her out .. she’d never have gone otherwise

Denis Thatcher is hilarious. Private Eye got him to a T. He must have made it much easier for Margaret when times were tough. You have to hand it to a man born in his era that he encouraged and helped his then young wife on to the steps of a meteoric career in the all consuming world of politics and statesmanship and stood by her through thick and thin, when all he really wanted was to retire, play golf and down a few drinks at the bar!

[@SiVlog1989]

The thing is about the events that unfolded when she was at the conference in Paris to mark the end of the Cold War, she was warned before she left for Paris that victory in the leadership challenge against Hesseltine was far from guaranteed and she was urged to stay in London and actively campaign. She said firstly that the party knew of the achievements of the previous 11 years and that this conference was "the importance of history," that she had to be there. With her Parliamentary Private Secretary, and campaign leader, Peter Morrison, doing next to nothing in actually campaigning, spending more time drinking and sleeping than actually campaigning, perhaps it's not really a surprise in hindsight that she didn't win by the margin required to avoid a second ballot

+lfc lee ona byla chistym zlom

[@gymnastix]

+lfc lee If one looks at only the short term of economic policy, it may seem as though Margaret Thatcher (or Ronald Reagan in the United States) were "wrecking" the lives of the average person. But after years, decades really, of Labor (and Democrat Party in the U.S.) fiscal policies, immediate positive change will not ever be apparent. It took a few years for the benefits of Thatcher's and Reagan's pro-free enterprise policies to become apparent. But eventually the economies improved, employment was increased greatly, and people could not only afford but splurged on consumer goods and home-buying beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s and into the early 21st Century. Even if one could not afford a single home, when wealthier people do well that flows down to less wealthy persons. No poor man ever got a job from another poor man, and certainly not from a government. The fact Great Britain and the U.S. still have any free market jobs and profit-making products at all speaks well to Tory and Republican policies, certainly not to the bleak, negative, and victim-dependent ideology of socialists, who must always have government-dependent constituents to survive (the same relationship as a drug dealer to a junkie) and must also always create bogeymen or scapegoats (usually those who own property) to create envy among those who do not own property. Left unchecked, the U.K. and the U.S. would've likely gone completely communist, but for Thatcher and Reagan. Also, please don't forget who controls the media and entertainment systems--the political left. And them that controls the media often controls the message. The political left also greatly outnumber moderates and conservatives in education. Thus we are all susceptible to leftist brainwashing (school children and college students to several hours a day of Marxist diatribe, especially in universities where all those old Bolsheviks are kept for life tenures until they rot away) from practically the time we learn to read and write until we go to the grave. It takes more work to become truly independent thinkers, not as influenced by group mindset (where people are indoctrinated to think in terms of groups and "we," being "good team players," where no single winners are possible, etc.), instead of being leaders, and thinking in terms of "I" and of independent motivation and self-setting goals.
