Margaret Thatcher, House of Commons Speech(the poor poorer, provided that the rich were less rich)
Posted by admin / Under Margaret Thatcher
Eleven years ago, we rescued Britain from the parlous state to which socialism had brought it.

"Failure?" she answered, "Do you remember what Queen Victoria once said? 'Failure - the possibilities do not exist'." The remark goes to the heart of Mrs Thatcher's essential...
