The real case against socialism is not its economic inefficiency, though on all sides there is evidence of that. Much more fundamental is its basic immorality.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
I hate feminism. It is poison.
Margaret Thatcher

We do not have a freehold on the earth, only a full repairing lease
Margaret Thatcher
