Anyone Disagree?

"This woman is headstrong, obstinate, and dangerously self-opinionated " Those are the notes of the interviewer who interviewed a candidate for a job with ICI, in 1948. [Quoted in The Times]

No prize for guessing which,later famous, woman he was referring to. Those words could serve as her epitaph, could they not?

[LazyGun]

I am sure there were other descriptors within the notes of the interviewer that could have been selected, and of course she would only have been - what, about 23?- when that interview was conducted.

Still, they do seem apt, particularly viewing her record and manner during her 3rd term in office as PM. Ignoring all collegiate cabinet advice to the contrary was what prompted tory high command to ditch her as leader.

Why do you want a link , aog? Don't you trust me to give 8 words of quotation and the source, and to render the facts given accurately ? But if you'd like to subscribe to The Times, as I do, to get past the paywall, perhaps because you don't believe me, you're welcome to do so. :)

Ha, that could be me!

A Labour supporting friend of mine hates her with a passion but says he wishes she had been a member of his party.

Oh I thought you were describing Mrs_overall, sorry, just noticed this is in news

All about England as usual. Wasn't she the UK Prime Minister? Probably goes some way in explaining why we have more giant pandas up here than Tory MPs.

[askyourgran]

MT's epitaph should contain words to describe her courage and determination in turning Britain's fortunes around for the better. Obviously all other past Prime Ministers have not deserved the recognition, and no present PM's should expect it.

[emmie]

was it written by a man, i suspect so. Seeing as how few women got top jobs, or indeed became leaders of their country, one so far, so perhaps she was right and he, if it was a he had blinkers on.

Whatever next, Fred?

The bloke who interviewed her went on to get a job at Decca in 1962.
Eventually, Decca Records rejected the Beatles, saying "guitar groups are on the way out" and "The Beatles have no future in show business,"[

Why was her old mum airbrushed out of the family history? Was she the madwoman in the Grantham grocery store attic?
