Eulogy for Thatcher

I've come to live in the U.K. in 1988 from a then communist country. What I saw her was not what I expected; I saw people begging and  living on the street for the first time in my life. I got evacuated from a building because of a bomb scare. I was surprised by by the tons rubbish on the streets. I was shocked by sick people on guernseys on the hospital corridor. I saw school kids sharing battered books. Most of all I was astonished that women got paid less than men for the same job even though the country was led by a woman. All the while she, who was responsible for all this, believed herself to be a lady. Well a true lady knows when to leave, thus Teacher definitely wasn't one. An that's all I gotta say.
