"Would you like to order, Sir?"
"Yes, i'll have the steak."

Gulliver, she was a The Mayor of Grantham's daughter and she was a scientist.

I dont think her parents said - atta girl
she did a lot of it herself
just as Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin her toot (*) did. Beccles Grammar oxbridge, via a master who volunteered to teach her Latin matric to get her in. Hodgkin ( similar background - see above) said of Thatcher- - OK as a second class chemist.
Yes, without doubt, she has been the greatest PM in my lifetime, but she left office 30 years ago, and died 8 years ago, so it's an utterly pointless query - nobody knows how she would have handled Covid.
^^ Nobody knows how she would have handled it ^^ I do, she wouldn't have faffed about, made decisions when they needed to be made, and got on with the job, and sacked anyone who didn't do their job, and also faced the media rather than using lapdogs. Any under handed dealings for mates would have also been stamped on very quickly.
