THIS from someone not even born during the Thatcher years just regurgitating Labour drivel! Thatcher was returned to power for a third time when she won the 1987 General Election with a majority of 102 seats. The following year she became Britain's longest serving prime minister for over a hundred years. There was a reason for her longevity - her policies WORKED. Drastic times call for drastic measures, and she was not afraid to take them.

By contrast, during the 13 years Labour have been in power, this country has disintegrated to the point of collapse. Whereas Thatcher was admired around the world for her leadership, Brown is just a walking disaster area and a national joke. Brown will always be remembered as a laughing stock, and an ineffectual fool.
