    Just seen some old footage of Mrs T on the BBC2.

    Christ she was good. Happy days.

    She left politics some time ago.

    She is not coming back. Get over it.

      Does she have a mohawk, lots of gold chains and avoid flying too?

      Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

        Ah yes, I saw that, her triumphant annoucement of her flagship project, the CSA - what a brilliant success.

          Thanks for the reassurance. I had heard rumours that certain sacrifices and incantations could summon her on dark and moonless nights.

              There is only one service they can do the nation now. It is to stand not upon the order of their going, but go. The damage that they have done to Britain is immeasurable.
              Our ancestors built a land of pride and hope and confidence in the future, a land whose influence grew out of all proportion to her size, whose constitution guaranteed a balance between freedom and order which used to be the British hallmark and became a model for the world. That was the heritage they handed down to us.
              What would they think of Labour Britain today. A country in which people ask: "Why work if you can get by without?"; "Why save if your savings are taxed away, or inflated away or both?"; "Why do a good job when you will probably make out just as well if you do a bad one?"; "Why bother to get extra qualifications when differentials and earnings so often depend on political muscle, not personal merit?"

              At home we are a country profoundly ill at ease with ourselves, while abroad a darkening and dangerous world scene confronts us. This is not just a Conservative analysis, it is a view shared here and overseas, not least by those who love this land and wish it well. In their franker moments even some Labour Ministers subscribe to it.

              "Land of hope and glory, mother of the free" sounds as stirring and moving as ever, but it is less and less like the land we live in today. Why is that? What has happened to this country of ours that we thought we knew? It is not just a question of pinning down who is responsible, important though that is. The first step in clearing your mind about where to go is to understand how you got where you are.

              Does what has happened to Britain imply that we have been governed by remarkably foolish people? No, though you may be able to think of one or two who would qualify under that heading. Is it the result of having been governed by unusually wicked people? No. There have been enough good intentions to pave the well-worn path twice over. The root of the matter is this: we have been ruled by men who live by illusions, the illusion that you can spend money you haven't earned without eventually going bankrupt or falling into the hands of your creditors; the illusion that real jobs can be conjured into existence by Government decree like rabbits out of a hat; the illusion that there is some other way of creating work and wealth than by hard work and satisfying your customers; the illusion that you can have freedom and enterprise without believing in free enterprise; the illusion that you can have an effective foreign policy without a strong defence force and a peaceful and orderly society without absolute respect for the law.

                  No, laddie, she made "her kind of people" rich, most of the people poorer, and some in the middle think they were getting richer when actually they were getting poorer.

                    Really? It sounds like something from a long distant past to me. I certainly can't remember this country being in a better state than it is now.
