GOOD MORNING

Hello all you fine people out there, so what's new today? Well it's Margaret Thatcher's funeral here and the usual rent a mob will be on the streets making their views known as disrespectfully as ever about what they think of our greatest ever Prime Minister since Churchill. Half of them were probably never even alive when she was around. The point they all seem to miss is that she OUR PM. We voted and she
 won. It's called democracy.
 When the leader of the NUM, Arthur Scargill decided to take her on and bully the breakaway Nottingham Miners Union into submission by mass picketing their lines to stop them working, that was his choice.She had no choice but to uphold the law and keep the peace.In my opinion though the subsequent mine closure program was brutal and could have been managed in a much more humane way.
Her achievements at home and on the international scene were remarkable and most foreign leaders had high  respect for her IRON LADY image and fighting spirit. She turned this country round from the sick man of Europe back to a vibrant and healthy economy. She helped and encouraged the dismantling of the Iron Curtain during Mikael Gorbachev's time of Perestroika and Glasnost which resulted in the fall of the Berlin Wall and there were other nations that had reason to be grateful for her intervention.   She famously returned the Falklands to their inhabitants after the Argentinian invasion. Who can forget that.
The irony is she was stabbed in the back by her own Conservative party after the poll tax fiasco, which if it had been handled and presented in a better way could have been a much fairer system that we have now. 
She had some irritable mannerisms but until now we've had no leader of any party who could come anywhere near her in terms of honesty, charisma, guts and foresight, who could see the bigger picture and what was needed. Her background of small business and understanding real life played its part.
We have a natural replacement now in the leader of THE UNITED KINGDOM INDEPENDENCE PARTY. His name is NIGEL FARAGE. I hope he will become our next Prime Minister.
