How Thatcherism got off the starting block.
'Thatcherism' suddenly leap into the consciousness of the UK one evening in late 1978. She was being interviewed on TV. She came across as an intelligent, quick-witted policiticians ... but not really someone exceptional. Then she was asked:
"What would you do if the miners went on strike and tried to bring down the government, as they did with Edward Heath?"
Her head jerked round to look at the camera. A wierd, malevolent look came into her eyes. her mouth opened and a guttural voice, completely different from her normal voice, declared:
"Well! One doesn't apply one's FINAL SOLUTION (her emphasis) until one's tried everything else!"
She then turned to the interviewer and zapped him with:
"Does one!!!"

Are you implying she was the re-incarnation of Hitler?
If not I'm not sure what you meant.

Reminds me of the one about the guy in a pub in the West Country, getting more and more indiscreet (as a newt) and sounding off about politics. Everything's okay until suddenly he announces "Maggie Thatcher has all the charm and humanity of a cow's arse!"
The whole room goes silent and expectant. Then a big beefy fist comes out of nowhere and socks the guy on the jaw, dropping him to the ground.
He staggers to his feet, little tweety birds flying around his head and says gingerly, "I'm so sorry - I didn't realise this was Tory country."
His assailant shakes his head. "It ain't," he growled. "It's cow country."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
