  1. So much for possibility of her becoming the new Margaret Thatcher who brought England back from the edge of economic doom as the path to socialism collapsed. Thatcher successfully brought England back toward capitalism/ free markets and prosperity for working people. Reagan, Thatcher and the pope were the 3 main reasons why Russian Communism collapsed and east Europe had a new chance for freedom.

  2. In 2002 on a train a Germany I met a Brit from Brighton who advised me that British subjects at or beneath the ‘poverty line’ were: 40%. I would wager that the number today is much higher. The Empire is flooded and drained by immigrants from its former colonies?
