Wow! First Annette, then I hear Margaret Thatcher's passed away, too.

IMO she is a loss to the entire world. Even more so the absolute perfect person for the UK during that era.

I lived in the UK in 1983.
We could use her here right now.

Met her once when I ran her security detail in Hawaii in the mid 90's; very nice, polite and was sharp as a tack. Lesson learned by Argentina; do not think the island nation of Great Britain will not come halfway round the world to whip your azz. Re Annette, she hung on a long time after her MS diagnosis (she went public with it so people wouldnt think she was drunk/drugged ect). RIP to both outstanding women.

Tragic loss. :bigcry:

She was awesome.

I loved it when she took on the commies in Parliament, eviscerated them so nicely they didn't even know it until they looked down & saw their guts on the floor!!!

What a great lady & brilliant leader. (something the world is now lacking terribly) :shake:
