did die
well you could argue that they were throwing bombs at her they almost killed
her
as a little more
nuance that story
she hated protection is she hated english poor and did nothing to help
them at all
she hated greenpeace environmental protections
more success
she was the only european political leader who opposed a ban hiney ivory
trade
let us remember she called nelson mandela at terrorist
cheated feminists

articles here
this morning about thatcher and reagan and

just a few minutes ago margaret thatcher's husband was the director of
the largest oil company in england

paley that's really true and i don't have a way to follow up on it but limits
stirred growth and beyond the limits of an interesting side profile as about
sinecure almost first meeting was really a environmental scientist

there was there was no there there are other than the stress rover trillion
dollars to uh... crony capitalist cronies of the reagan administration
what i do know and and uh... this is a matter of public record
is that back in the mid sixties and throughout the nineteen seventies
there were repeated
statements from the central intelligence e from international intelligence groups
that the soviet union was falling apart

i sought
i was in east berlin i sought i was in and i was in eastern right in western
russia i saw i was in moscow i sought the soviet union was falling apart and
uh... i l_d_
i think his prescription for what to do about it has put forward by him in
ingles
in communist manifesto
uh... didn't quite work out the way they hoped
and so that it was going down in flames in corbett shot was the guy who made the
transition
on but that's just my personal opinion heidi but i don't think it was just yet
he was the inevitability
of bad economic policies just like i think now we are facing
incredible economic difficulties in the united states in the u_k_ is as well
as a consequence of reaganomics and basher na mix
both of them borrowing and spending
i mean you look at the uh... the at the borrowing and spending that uh...
margaret thatcher did
and it's uh... you know during her time as prime minister it was really quite
extraordinary and and uh...
nineteen seventy-nine her first year her first full year in office she spent
forty two percent of g_d_p_
government spending up to be mine our government spending as a percentage of
g_d_p_ is run twenty one percent right now
she spent forty two percent a government g_d_p_ vertical taxes only collected
thirty three and a half percent
the next year spending way up to forty five percent taxes only thirty five
percent annexed hereto spangler two forty six percent this is eighty one e
two uh... it taxes only thirty eight percent out they were high she had
raised taxes from thirty three thirty eight percent
but she had increase penny from forty to forty six percent
you know if you wanna it's going to talk about reagan and thatcher both
bankrupting their nation
that would be that would be my opinion but again i would i would not there our
