Wasn’t she a lame duck, with a broken political wing as well as gammy political leg, when the Argies rowed a boat out to a bit of rock in the South Atlantic??
The rest is history. Without the Falklands business, to distract her political enemies and the tabloids, she would have been turfed out, replaced and forgotten about. An irrelevant foot note in history.

You could say ditto about Blair in a way. He’s remembered today mainly because of the Iraq war!!

Ditto the two Bush presidents in USA!!!

Ironic isn’t it?? Leaders place in history is founded primarily in war not peace!!

You have to wonder how MT would have got on with President Trump. Two strong right of centre leaders, with the common touch. Both Marmite types.

A swift handbag to the head and a stiletto in the groin is how she would deal with him. She got on well with Reagan because she was his intellectual superior and he was a gentleman.

Say what you like about Thatcher, but an idiot she was not, a trained chemist with the credentials to prove it, obtained in a time when I bet there were few women entering that field as well.

Merkel, I believe has a PhD in chemistry as well but don't quote me.

Trump, meanwhile, does not have a degree in 'finance', no matter what he claims.

Trump hasn’t read a full book never mind a PhD in anything. Got a degree in screwing over suppliers though!!

A party that put Major in charge. Biggest Muppet of a prime minister we ever had.

Other than a bizarre thing for Edwina I quite liked john major. Light relief after what had come before

Edit - don’t forget, he was “her” chancellor

Horses for courses. I think his father was a juggler in a circus which may account for his financial prowess. He certainly was not ringmaster material.

He was a fair public servant, but he had a cabinet from hell. Not dissimilar from Teresa May now. The party destroying itself.

No, I wouldn’t say that.
As far as I am aware, the Nazi party was only in Germany.
