she saved our country. and i believe she will go down as the greatest british peace time prime minister. she will have her critics even today. i think they will think carefully about her ultimate legacy and what she did to unleash the enterprise, the spirit of the british people. and to enable them to rediscover what they had lost which was really the belief in britain of. the news that she s gone brought back a lot of memories to me of times when i ve traveled with her, when i argued with her, when i stood beside her. here was a brave woman who had become prime minister by her own merits. who had her own strong views about how this country should go and did her best on the whole successfully to carry those views through.
