Thanks for the link! Good read and I would agree with all except for the part when she introduces Thatcher as the one to turn the tide so to speak. Margaret Thatcher was groomed by a conservative think tank to take over the reins of power in the UK. It is not at all clear that once she achieved that goal that she became her own person: "Lady Thatcher is great theatre as long as someone else is writing her lines; she hasn’t got a clue," said her so-called 'guru' Alfred Sherman.
I used to hang around on rabble.ca's "babble" until May, 2006, and, since then, I've been found at www.enmasse.ca and www.breadnroses.ca. Even more lately, I've been at EnMasse, but also numerous blogs from the progressive side.
I'm sometimes rude to people and I've been accused of "schoolyard taunts," so, here's my schoolyard.

You're welcome for the link! I was pretty impressed with Ms. George's writing when I was doing a lot of reading about the debt-crisis in the LDCs.
Her book A Fate Worse Than Debt
