de Winter writes: "Thatcher did almost as much to mess up England as Ronald Reagan did to mess up the USA. Curiously enough, both were admired for their stubborn and corrupt vandalism, by people who were incapable of recognizing the corrupt vandalism for what it was."

About Thatcher
09 April 13
he rode the Malvinas War to a long stay in government, but the Malvinas War was (and continues to be) really a question of stupid and useless chauvinism for both Argentina and England.
The Argentine author Borges said that the Malvinas War was like two almost totally bald and crotchety old men fighting about a comb.
Based on the "admiration" that Thatcher got from her Malvinas War performance, Thatcher built a super-highway system in England that allowed England to waste all of the oil it had found in the North Atlantic in about 20 years, and to become more than ever addicted to oil it no longer had. Thatcher did almost as much to mess up England as Ronald Reagan did to mess up the USA. Curiously enough, both were admired for their stubborn and corrupt vandalism, by people who were incapable of recognizing the corrupt vandalism for what it was.
The last 100 years or so has had an enormous number of really useless and destructive men, and a few useless and destructive women: Ayn Rand, Phyllis Schlafly, Sarah Palin, Margaret Thatcher, and just a few others. We can be grateful that Sarah Palin did not get very far, and that the USA did not have to put up with both Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.
