Re: Happy Margaret Thatcher Day ...
You appear to be stating it is not what she said that matters, but what people think she said....
And actually, contrary to what you state, she issued a clarification in the Times the following June.
Quote:
[+Appendix: statement issued to Sunday Times, published 10 July 1988:]
All too often the ills of this country are passed off as those of society. Similarly, when action is required, society is called upon to act. But society as such does not exist except as a concept. Society is made up of people. It is people who have duties and beliefs and resolve. It is people who get thing, s done. [ Margaret Thatcher] She prefers to think in terms of the acts of individuals and families as the real sinews of society rather than of society as an abstract concept. Her approach to society reflects her fundamental belief in personal responsibility and choice. To leave things to ‘society’ is to run away from the real decisions, practical responsibility and effective action.”
