(and for the record I think the 'worldwide impact' thing is a bit strong - and is often touted by people in the UK or America. It's unfortunately hard to see Mandela's legacy casting much of a shadow over China.)

The Iron Lady, which was attributed to Mrs Thatcher by the Russians and reported in an English newspaper was a mistake in translation. What the Russians actually called her was The Frigid Bitch.

get your facts right wharton it was meant as an insult, she wore it as a badge. Still if she's upsetting the whinning sweaties she's doing something right. Good luck with independence, you're going to need it.
