Now Glenda Jackson has really gone up in My estimation. Yesterday, at the MP's tribute to Margaret Thatcher, she decided to pay her own little tribute, by speaking the TRUTH.
She talked about how Thatcherism wreaked havoc on Britain, how Mental Hospitals were closed to make way for "care in the community", which as she put it, meant no care at all. She reminded MPs of schools which were crumbling, school books which were damaged with no money to replace them, how libraries were a mass of bare shelves and that the only thing Thatcher managed to achieve in her policies was a culture of greed and selfishness.
Of course, she was jeered by her fellow MPs for speaking her mind. It would seem we can't dare to be critical of Margaret Thatcher, even if we are being completely honest. But you know what - well done Glenda! It's about time somebody spoke out and saw Thatcherism for what it really was. And as for those who jeered her; open your eyes for goodness sake! She brought the country to it's knees - certainly for those who are poor. The rich didn't see this, because like the current coalition, Margaret Thatcher was the protector of the rich.
Glenda Jackson has balls to stand up in the House of Commons and refresh everybody's short memory. She has far more balls than her male counterparts in My opinion!
