Wonder how.. The Ghastly Lady... "Thatcher" would have handled Covid.

[naomi24]

Why is this in news?

[webbo3]

Much better than Corbyn or Steer calmer

[Theland]

She was a scientist herself, so that would have been advantageous.

[gulliver1]

Always thought she was a shop keepers daughter.

[Theland]

She worked in the food industry.

If she had any sense, she would have clobbered you with her Iron Hand - wonderful how respectful you are to the dead, Gulliver.

And webbo is right, imagine Corbyn/Abbot over this, no thanks - and all Starmer does is bleat like a Sussex sheep about to have its neck cut in Findon.

Thatch also had some pretty skilled Health Secretaries, as in Kenneth Clarke and William Waldegrave, Fowler, Moore and Jenkin too....

[DTCwordfan]

Her degree (from Oxford) was in Chemistry.

[Untitled]

she would have championed everyone's right in a free market to contract COVID if they chose, and sod the vulnerable!

[gulliver1]

I always thought it was very funny when her own Mps nicknamed her.......Handbag....... lol.

[gulliver1]

Think Geoffrey Howe did all the Clobbering, he didn't need an iron hand, She met her comeuppance with him. lol.

[ToraToraTora]

The Russians called her the Iron Lady.

[gulliver1]

Still , she had her claim to fame. Bless her.
She formed the Nasty Party.

[Hopkirk]

I suspect she would have handled it extremely well.

She was very good at getting experts to brief her, and taking the facts on board.

[gulliver1]

19.16, Who's Ironing did she used to do. ?

[Hopkirk]

Here is an example

[Espresso125]

//Always thought she was a shop keepers daughter.//

She was. The two are not mutually exclusive. In case you're unsure what this means, it means she can be both a shopkeeper's daughter and a scientist.
