Margaret Thatcher a tribute to the Iron Lady

Margaret Thatcher was a truly inspirational woman no matter where you are on the Political spectrum you must respect this woman.  The story of the UK’s first and so for only female Prime Minister was an inspirational one.  She was no Tory toff she achieved everything she did through her core principles of hard work and determination, which she learnt from her father and served her well throughout her life.  As a woman she made it to the very top of a world ran by men when women were a rare breed in parliament and not only did she make it to Number 10, she stayed there longer than any post war Prime Minister.

Her list of achievements is long, some are divisive others are achievements in everyone’s eyes.  She revived the country after the winter of discontent and turned it from the sick man of Europe to an economic powerhouse.  She stood up to for British interests in Europe winning our famous rebate and showed her strength when dealing with both Argentina over the Falklands.  However, her crowning achievement on the international stage was to ensure a peaceful end to the cold war.

Thatcher was a once in a lifetime politician who changed not just the landscape of the UK but the landscape of the world.  Thatcher is the reason so many others and I are conservatives and although today Britain lost its Iron Lady her ideas will live on and so will the impact of her policies.
