The Iron Lady
My parents left England for Germany in the late 70's - partly due to the decline of England's economy at that time. Just after we left, Margaret Thatcher came to power and started her reign as the Iron Lady. There has been a lot of rustling lately about how Germany needs some kind of leadership that actually has the courage to change the things that need changing. Last night there was a news item actually comparing Germany's current situation with that of the UK back in the 70s. The same item also went so far as to quote several leading German economists saying that someone like Margaret Thatcher was in fact exactly what Germany now needs. Full circle.
