[QUOTE="Malika, post: 588945, member: 11227"] I never liked her politics or her manner and was quite deeply opposed to her when she was in power (this was in my old radical socialist days :) ) But I remember when she was basically forced out of the leadership by her party, and she made a farewell speech in parliament; she was courageous, dignified and humorous under fire and I remember thinking - really for the very first time - that she had admirable qualities. I worked for the British parliament at the time and I passed her in the corridor about a week later. She looked yellow and shrunken, almost unrecognisable, as though the removal of power had literally deflated her. Like her or loathe her, she did change the face of British politics. [/QUOTE]
