Man, that photo of the British Prime Minister giggling like a little schoolgirl at Mandela's Funeral, was pretty sad. The U.S. President was just as embarrassing. They looked like two little girls giggling over how cute Justin Bieber is. Great Britain desperately needs a strong Leader again. Are there any Margaret Thatchers left over there?
Thatcher was far from perfect.
We now live in different and more enlightened times.

Thatcher reformed local government taxes by replacing domestic rates—a tax based on the nominal rental value of a home—with the Community Charge (or poll tax) in which the same amount was charged to each adult resident.[101]
The new tax was introduced in Scotland in 1989 and in England and Wales the following year,[102] and proved to be among the most unpopular policies of her premiership.[101] Public disquiet culminated in a 70,000 to 200,000-strong [103] demonstration in London on 31 March 1990; the demonstration around Trafalgar Square deteriorated into the Poll Tax Riots, leaving 113 people injured and 340 under arrest.[104]
The Community Charge was abolished by her successor, John Major.[104]
Brits have lost their way. Their biggest tragedy is that they've allowed their Country to become a Police State. They've become a Surveillance State, no better than China or Iran. They've completely rolled over. They need to have a Revolution and then draw up a Constitution similar to America's. I mean, there is a reason they got their asses booted out of America. I just don't know what happened to the Brits. Is it something in their water, or food?
