(And no, I'm not Anti-Semitic, just so that we're clear on that.)

I wondered how long it would take before his name came up. 😀

I'm surprised by that too.

I think she obviously belongs on the list.

If we eliminate the jokes, we are left with the following:

Mandela
Ghandi
King
Mother Theresa
Einstein
Churchill
Reagen
Hawking
Thatcher

Should we add Jonas Salk?

You think Thatcher was a joke?

If so, at least it wasn't anti-semitic one.

For featuring on Keep Talking by Pink Floyd.

You could have fooled me.

I had an American neighbour when Reagan was in charge and I mentioned to him once that I liked his President and he became apoplectic, I had to beat a hasty retreat. Gawd!

I lived through the Thatcher years and I can categorically say it was a disaster for "the ordinary bloke". She gets my vote as one of the worst people of the 20th century.
