As the film 'The Iron Lady' is readied for its premiere, isn't it about time that Mrs Thatcher's home town and birthplace finally gave due recognition to certainly the UK's greatest post-war Prime Minister and surely up there as one of our best ever leaders?
The town where Mrs Thatcher grew up has a small plaque to commemorate the small grocer's shop where she lived in her formative years. That's it! No statue, no roads named after her, nothing else.
Sir Isaac Newton gets a statue and a scruffy shopping centre named after him but Maggie?
Is it because she was a woman? Or maybe because she had the sense, decency and above all courage, to do what needed to be done to halt Britain's decline?
This is to the shame of the small minded socialists that populate some of the town's areas and until recently, our national government.
The memory of Mrs Thatcher and her great contribution to the people and future of the UK, will be remembered long after these 'pin-heads' have been forgotten.
Some say she was divisive. That is somewhat true. She split those that were content to see the UK have a 'managed decline' from the rest and us she gave a future and a share in the prosperity of the UK, if we were willing to be contributors to society.
She had the mis-fortune to largely be surrounded by weak-willed and/or preening men who eventually succeeded in ousting her but anyone around during her time, will tell you that she had more 'balls' than all of the rest of her cabinet, put together.
