Margaret Thatcher, a giant
If you listen to the BBC you'll learn that Thatcher was a monster. In the world of the decent and the indecent, the British plant her firmly among the Hitlers of the world.
Was she "classy"? You can't use that word in a country that really does have classes. I believe she's Dame Margaret now, which is much deserved, but I don't think the title is enough to lift her out of the merchant [upper] middle class. It would be delicious if she were actually raised to the peerage. How about Duchess Thatcher? bwahaha. Such a wondrous thing that would be, Margaret Thatcher in the House of Lords, a new creation but an intelligent woman, solid leader, educated and informed, able to speak wisely on just about any policy. Tell it to the Lords! Or maybe she would be better left to the Commons.
Just some random thoughts. One can dream.
