MARGARET THATCHER

Margaret Thatcher effected profound change in the society and for that she became very unpopular.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!

I've met serial killers and professional assassins and nobody scared me as much

Mrs Thatcher was a mirror-image Marxist. Everything that Marx abhorred she thought was good

She is clearly the best man among them.

I am not prepared to accept the economics of a housewife.

She [Margaret Thatcher] cannot see an institution without hitting it with her handbag.

Attila the Hen.

... a brilliant tyrant surrounded by mediocrities.

[Referring to Margaret Thatcher:] She is democratic enough to talk down to anyone.

... that appalling woman.

It is essential to reduce taxes on employment and wealth creation in order to enhance our economy's competitiveness. But I don't think it's sensible today to write a Conservative budget … with specific pledges on tax reduction.

If Margaret Thatcher wins on Thursday, I warn you not to be ordinary, I warn you not to be young, I warn you not to fall ill, and I warn you not to grow old.

[Describing Margaret Thatcher:] She approaches the problems of our country with all the one-dimensional subtlety of a comic strip.

I wouldn’t say she is open-minded about her views of the Middle East so much as empty headed.

She has the eyes of Caligula and the lips of Marilyn Monroe.

British Prime Minister Margret Thatcher, was a precursor to the American Tea Party.

Never have I met a politician who was as certain her or she was absolutely right as Margret Thatcher.

Now, now, little lady, you don’t want to believe all those things you read in the newspaper about crisis and upheavals, and the end of civilization as we know it. Dearie me, not at all.

What Mrs. Thatcher did was to take a rather complacent and comfortable set of social institutions and arrangements, stick dynamite under them, detonate them, and not really give a damn about the casualties.

Britain is no longer in the politics of the pendulum, but of the ratchet.

Let us never forget this fundamental truth: the State has no source of money other than money which people earn themselves. If the State wishes to spend more it can do so only by borrowing your savings or by taxing you more. It is no good thinking that someone else will pay - that 'someone else' is you. There is no such thing as public money; there is only taxpayers' money.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.

Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them.

Victorian values…were the values when our country became great.

There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first.

The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of everyone else's money.

People are really rather afraid that this country might be rather swamped by people with a different culture...

I personally have always voted for the death penalty because I believe that people who go out prepared to take the lives of other people forfeit their own right to live. I believe that that death penalty should be used only very rarely, but I believe that no-one should go out certain that no matter how cruel, how vicious, how hideous their murder, they themselves will not suffer the death penalty.

No one would have remembered the Good Samaritan if he’d only had good intentions. He had money as well.
