  1. As an American who was raised in poverty, I have always equated Thatcher with the President Reagan Republican politicians who worked earnestly for one segment of society that fits into one of all of three categories: the upper middle class, the wealthy, and especially those who were European descendants. Today, as I watch this and other interviews of this leader, I appreciate aspects of her leadership including her focused steadfastness. Yet, I question if her views and policies included the plight of the many immigrants who were introduced and seduced by the United Kingdom’s (mythical inclusionary) ways because of the colonialism that invaded their native homelands. Sadly, in other interviews, I sensed many of her “just get on with it” theories were set on her own family’s ways of existence and success. However, such logic qualifies as a ‘one size fits all’ approach for an entire population, or kingdom. Please know that I deeply appreciate Thatcher’s candid comments and focus. However, I simply do not fully understand the British government. Therefore, could British people share and help me understand how she is seemingly elevated and adored now, but when in office, her policies seemed to cause social divide and a seemingly absent voice for the many ethnic groups under the United Kingdom’s leadership. No argument intended. Please, no rude language and angry comments necessary. Please share your experience as those who have experienced living and surviving under Thatcher’s governance. Thank you.
