People like Thatcher and Churchill were products of their environments.

Those three countries all have one thing in common with each other that Britain doesn't. The poxy fecking Euro. Britain doesn't need another Maggie, its not that desperate.

Sensationalism Reggy at its best on your part.

yep she did. in Parliament, it was her way or the highway. and she wanted control of the judiciary as well by hand-picking the judges. a classic example of how she abuses her powers would be the GCHQ case where Lord Diplock worded it beautifully -
