In the UK Mrs Thatcher stopped the free daily milk ration given to every child at school - a leftover from the war.

We were all taught to shout “Margaret Thatcher Milk Snatcher”

That was her first run-in with the British electorate.

Sadly I understand that Lady Thatcher is now suffering with some form of dementia.

Nothing would get me to see this film, she deserves better but is unlikely to get it - she is hated by the left and marginalized by the right in the UK that she saved from the full force of socialism.

Sad.

Interestingly enough, we were taught that Reagan wanted to substitute ketchup for vegetables in children's school lunches. Evidently, the left doesn't possess an original thought - it just rehashes old ideas.

Thank you for the information. As I said, I had no idea that the left's antipathy for her went that far back.
