As if Thatcher being a strong woman justifies the kind of self-seeking, mammon-focused policies her administration engendered. Her legacy isn't 'solid for all women' especially when you consider the knock on effect of the kind of aforementioned policies on economics and society as a whole.<br /><br />It is that kind of blind feminism that is pernicious.<br /><br />Phew, rant over. Another thoughtful piece Cuban.<br /><br />Michael is great and a very down to earth young man. He's been humbly working hard on the live scene as a session musician for years despite still only being a very young man. I'm glad for him. It's good to see raw talent win out.<br /><br />Back in the day I didn't even know he sang. He was one of the London soul scenes go-to guitarists.<br /><br />Shalom, Miss T xTolitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07699190688766288776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-33744973284692500972012-02-02T05:31:42.687+00:002012-02-02T05:31:42.687+00:00always love your commentary.

Her legacy is solid for all women.

I've read criticism of this movie for being too character driven and shying away from politics. I certainly didn't agree with most of her politics but she is a fascinating character. It amazes me that the US hasn't had a female leader when the UK has but that might be due to the parliamentary system.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-25673216440415007082012-01-30T20:47:28.411+00:002012-01-30T20:47:28.411+00:00Thanks a lot for your comments.

Perhaps it's also because my mother loved it, and my mother is a staunch conservative Republican to my staunch liberal Democrat.

MT was hated with such passion back in her days of power. Unlike many politicians she didn't pretend to be nice (the smarmy approach the likes of Cameron adopt). She was exactly what she showed herself to be. Personally I have no desire to see the film... and I love Meryl. Like films about the royalty... this is last on my list!<br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.com
