When Sarah Palin was announced as the choice for running mate, misgivings came from both genders within the Republican party, fueled by a relentless press that questioned how someone with no background (they neglected to use Google), could be elevated to such a lofty position. Then she spoke at her introduction and set the Republican base at ease, but not the media (that body she does not court),
How does Sarah Palin stack up with one of the most famous lady statesmen of history? From the Times of London: John O’Sullivan, a former adviser to Margaret Thatcher, pointed out that the Iron Lady had initially lacked foreign policy...
I know I recently thrilled readers senseless with my tribulations in finding “The Alchemist,” but I couldn’t resist starting “Seagalagy” instead.For the uninformed hoards who live in swamps and spend their leisure hours flicking turds at each other, this magnificent tome is a comprehensive guide to the filmic splendours that Mr Seagal has blessed the world with.If any of you are splutter
It is shocking for all Daily Mail readers. God is about to die. Yeah, a few weeks after it was decided that Mrs T will get a state funeral, her daughter, Carol Thatcher, writes her memoirs and reassures us that mum will be gone soon. This is sad. I will not make a joke about the mental illness of the former Prime Minister, who (and even I as a liberal admit that) did (a few) great things for Bri
David Cameron:
I’m going to be as radical a social reformer as Mrs Thatcher was an economic reformer, and radical social reform is what this country needs right now.
Margaret Thatcher in her time realised that the big challenge was reviving Britain’s economy, and we should recognise that the challenge for the modern Conservatives is reviving our [...]
I think Jeffman lied when he said he’d be back on Monday, but then Jeffman, like a politician, has a long history of – how shall we say? – frugality with the truth. Just ask his good mother!
So what has spurred Jeffman into this unscheduled appearance?
Nothing really. Just a desire to get some random idiocy [...]
[I]n Glasgow East, [Labour] is presenting the former Conservative prime minister as a hate figure and accusing her government of “wrecking” the country. (The Telegraph)
How times change:
According to the Mail, she will be given a State funeral when she dies at some point in the future. If this is true, she will be the first Prime Minister since Churchill to be accorded this honour.
This is of course called “no less than she deserves” from some quarters, and “an insult” from others.
Personally, [...]
London, July 5 (IANS) Oasis lead singer Noel Gallagher has blamed Margaret Thatcher, who served as the British prime minister from 1979 to 1990, for the present day increase in crime in the country. Mirror.co.uk quoted Gallagher as saying: “The rise in crime is horrible. I don’t even know what Cameron and Gordon Brown are [...]
"Choral singing perhaps? Or needlework?"The 1950's, when Margaret Thatcher attempted to begin her political career, were clearly a different age. Politics, like so many other good careers, was even more male-dominated than it is today. Thatcher's first speech seemed more like a child reciting Hilaire Belloc verse before its amused family after a picnic, but she had the ambition and determination t
Mount first encountered Thatcher when he was working at the Conservative Research Department in 1964. "She was then 39 years old and ... looked more like one of the over-age milkmaids in the chorus of the Bath panto than someone in training to be an Iron Lady, although you could not miss the willpower," he writes. "Her voice was sharper then than it later became, when she had had voice training to bring it down a semitone after criticisms that she sounded shrill. To me, anyway, she sounded unbearably sharp as she began to slice my papers into pitiful shreds." Despite this unpromising beginning, in 1982 Mount was invited - thanks to the intercession of Thatcher's economics adviser, Alan Walters - to be head of the No 10 policy unit. When they met again, Thatcher instantly launched
Está aberta a sucessão no PSD. Ou não...Se Menezes se apresenta a directas penso que ganha. Mas, e se não se apresentar (cenário que coloco, à partida, totalmente de parte)?Cá por mim bem sei quem queria ver à frente desta "Bananeira" de "País".Parece-me que só a "Dama de Ferro" poderá por este "projecto de Nação independente" no rumo certo.Claro que seria necessário:A - que se candidatasse (o que não acredito)B - que ganhasse as directas (acontecimento certo caso se verificasse o primeiro)C - que ganhasse as legislativas (um eleitorado honesto não poderia deixar de o fazer) D - que soubesse que "há vida para além do défice" (huummm.......)Resumindo... Impossível! Fica o desejo e a sugestão....
"Many of my constituents tell me they don't believe sexual orientation should be considered a protected class like race or religion," Thatcher said. "The new law has vague definitions of sexual orientation, which will lead to expensive litigation and there are already measures in place to deal with discrimination." -Rep.

Now don't get us wrong upon first seeing this headline we felt that this was an obscene headline indeed. Upon looking into the story further, we realised that it was more than that. It was actually the story of a rich boy being protected by his mothers friends in high places within the British Establishment. Feel free Mr Mann to carry on fingering this little rich boy all you want. If there is any justice he'll be sitting in a cell right next to you and getting more than a mere fingering from the burly prison guards.

I've just watched a Sky+'d documentary on BBC4 fronted by the over exposed Michael Portillo.Looking at the Conservative Party and Margaret Thatcher, it examines her often negative effect on the party she led for eleven years.As noted by Portillo, David Cameron is the only Conservative Party leader since 1990 that Margaret Thatcher has not commented on. He's also the one who has done most to modernise the party. The candidate she supported won the leadership election,usually against Kenneth Clarke, whose support for the Euro revolted Thatcher (and no doubt still does).Portillo speaks to William Hague for the first time since they were in the 2001 Shadow Cabinet, and the discussion seems quite friendly.He also discusses the ups and downs of Thatcher with Norman Lamont, John Whittingdale and

Seldom have two heads-of-state been better matched to work for common goals than were Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. However, neither their personal relationship nor their political one was as placid as usually portrayed for benefit of the general public on both sides of the Atlantic.

Received a fund raising letter from The Heritage Foundation last night that included a letter from Margaret Thatcher and wanted to share it with those that may not have received it. It's inspiring and comes at a time when "we the people," the voice of the electorate is not being listened to.The Heritage Foundation has done an awful lot for the Conservative cause; including the study that revealed the egregious sums of money that the "Shamnesty" bill will cost US!Visit The Heritage Foundation and donate if you can; otherwise at least give the letter from the former prime minister of the UK a read while remembering what she and the late President Reagan did for the world.From The Rt. Hon. The Baroness Thatcher, L.G., O.M., F.R.S.It was great honour to be invited to become the Patron of The Heritage Foundation last year. Heritage’s president Ed Feulner and I first met during the Reagan years and found, almost immediately, that we shared the same goals of defending and extending freed

“Como primera ministra aprendí que, cuando el Gobierno pone moneda en circulación, todo lo que consigue es inflación, pero en esta ocasión muy especial quizás pueda hacer una excepción a la regla”, dijo Thatcher, de 81 años.
Las piezas conmemorativas, que llevan la inscripción “Aniversario de la Liberación”, han sido acuñadas por la casa de monedas privada Pobjoy en Surrey, al sur de Londres, por encargo del Gobierno del archipiélago, cuando se cumplen 25 años de la contienda entre el Reino Unido y la Argentina.
Entre ellas, figura una moneda en oro y su versión en plata que muestra a una triunfante Britania, la figura femenina que representa al Reino Unido, envuelta con la bandera británica mientras porta un escudo con el blasón de las islas Malvinas.
Además, se han acuñado piezas de 50 peniques, que entrarán en circulación en las islas Malvinas, que muestran un mapa del archipiélago en el fondo sobre el que camina de espaldas un soldado.

“We must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend.”Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925) British prime minister
When Mrs Thatcher came to power in 1979 the economy was generally considered to be facing severe structural problems including Inflation of 27%Powerful Trades unions causing wage inflation and time lost to strikes.Unemployment increasing to a post war record of 700,000High levels of government debt that required politically sensitive borrowing from the IMF. On coming to power in 1979 Mrs Thatcher lost no time in seeking to make a clean break with the past. Mrs Thatcher was heavily influenced by the idea of Monetarism and free market economics. In addition she wished to “destroy” the power of the “Socialist / Communist” trades unions. On coming to power the first policies of the Conservative administration were to tackle both inflation and the budget deficit. The belief of Monetarism was that to control inflation you needed to control the money supply. To control the money supply it was necessary to reduce any government deficit. Therefore extreme deflationar
There are plans for a movie about Margaret Thatcher, the former UK Prime Minister. The movie follows Thatcher’s life 17 days preceding the war against Argentina.

BBC SPORT | Football | Premiership | Man City 0-0 Portsmouth
Manchester City earned their first point of the season in a match marred
by a disgraceful challenge by Ben Thatcher on Portsmouth's Pedro Mendes.
In what turned out to be a mediocre match, the only noteworthy moment turned
out to be a disgraceful challenge by Ben Thatcher on Pedro Medes. On viewing
the reply you can clearly see Thatcher raise his hand towards the face of Mendes
resulting in the Portsmouth playing appearing to collapse to the ground unconscious
before sliding into the advertising hoarding.
Now whilst I can understand the reaction of Harry Redknapp and many of the
fans, and although being a Pompey fan myself, I don't think Ben Thatcher intended
to hurt Mendes. Having watched Ben Thatcher over the past few years, I think
it was more of a dangerous tackle that he is prone to committing once in a
while, but in no way am I condoning what he did. The F.A. needs to review the
