Clashing With Margaret On Grenada

KINGSTON, Jamaica - The recent passing of one of the greatest political leaders of the 20th century was a shock to all who knew of her powerful leadership. Her policies were transformational, redirecting global political thinking and empowering the call for action.
Her mission was a supreme belief in the force of the market and the power of the individual driven by reward for initiative. She reshaped the British economy, pulling it back from the edge of a cliff and promoted other ways to offer social benefits than to rely on welfare.
She was a controversial figure, which led her to meet resistance along the way. Two such instances of confrontation directly between myself and Prime Minister Thatcher will illustrate.
