Margaret Thatcher

When Maggie became PM,England was in dire straits.Unemployment,inflation,crime,racial tension and social discord had reached alarming levels.The people's morale was at an all time low.Businesses were closing and a large number of people had started leaving Britain for greener pastures.
Maggie had an unerring insight into the problems bedevelling Britain.The people had become lazy and immoral due to the existing state of affairs.
Gorbachev was the General Secretary of the Soviet Union and he was also trying to dismantle the command-control structure prevailing in the Soviet Union.Maggie promised all support to Gorbachev from NATO and Great Britain in his endeavour to bring freedom and prosperity in the Soviet Union.

Within a decade,Maggie introduced sweeping reforms in the economic policies and completely dismantled the socialistic pattern of society.She encouraged enterprise,private initiative,new ideas and tried hard ti improve relationships with Asian,Latin American and African countries.Putting "All eggs in one basket can be risky" was her favourite adage.When she left office,Britain had once again become a strong,purposeful and disciplined nation.
