Was Friedrich Merz von Margaret Thatcher lernen könnte. Wirklich!

[Dämlichste] Schlagzeile des Tages!

Friedrich Merz (auch Merzel genannt) kann Lady Thatcher nicht das Wasser reichen! 

Was Friedrich Merz von Margaret Thatcher lernen könnte | FAZ "Die frühere Premierministerin hat Großbritannien in den achtziger Jahren gegen viele Widerstände reformiert. Das lag auch am hohen Leidensdruck in ihrem Land. In Deutschland scheint es noch nicht so weit zu sein."

Will she be able to live up to such aspirations and connotations? Or is it all hype? If yes, she will be great!

‘Biggest Mistake of the Century’ — Britain’s Hong Kong Handover 25 Years Ago to Beijing Marked the ‘Beginning of the End’. Really!

What a stupid article by Breitbart news! I am afraid, there might be others thinking in similar ways.

The British only honored an international agreement between China and the UK about a 100 lease of 1898 of the territory. Whether then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher could have negotiated a better Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984 is another question. In hindsight, it would probably have been better for the UK to wait a few more years before negotiating a deal.

That the Communist Party of China would select a dictator and hegemon like Xi Jinping twice to be the party leader in violation of Deng Xiaoping's reforms was most likely unforeseeable at the time of handover.

25 Years: Britain's Hong Kong Handover Marked 'Beginning of the End' Marking the “beginning of the end”, 25 years ago Britain’s Union Jack flag was lowered at the Government House in Central Hong Kong for the final time, replaced with the yellow and red of the Chinese Communist regime in Beijing.

Mir gefällt die Schlagzeile sehr gut! Man darf gespannt sein wo ihre Karriere noch hinführen wird!

Innenministerin Priti Patel - Großbritanniens neue eiserne Lady | Cicero Online Ob Brexit oder Migration, die britische Innenministerin Priti Patel macht seit zehn Jahren mit harten politischen Positionen Politik. Nun will sie Julian Assange an die USA ausliefern lassen und Flüchtlinge künftig per Flugzeug auf Nimmerwiedersehen nach Ruanda schicken. ...

"... I came to office with one deliberate intent: to change Britain from a dependent to a self-reliant society—from a give-it-to-me, to a do-it-yourself nation. A get-up-and-go, instead of a sit-back-and-wait-for-it Britain. ..."

Recommendable!

Recommendable! Meet the best British Prime Minister since Churchill! Boris Johnson better learns something from this politician by conviction!

The Hong Kong we know is dead

Very recommendable! Stand with the people of Hong Kong!
Article contains many details about the new national security law! It is horrible, it is the work of a totalitarian dictatorship!

Why did Prime Minister Thatcher sign this Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984 to transfer Hong Kong in 1997? I bet, she was believing that the Communist Party of China would not exist anymore by 2047. Did she have then already a hunch or even knowledge that the USSR was crumbling?

Very recommendable! Thank you Lawrence Reed for your compilation and commentary!

Margaret Thatcher undoubtedly among the greatest British Prime Ministers of all time! R.I.P.

"“I started life with two great advantages: no money, and good parents.”

"I came to office with one deliberate intent: to change Britain from a dependent to a self-reliant society—from a give-it-to-me, to a do-it-yourself nation. A get-up-and-go, instead of a sit-back-and-wait-for-it Britain." ...

Marxists get up early in the morning to further their cause. We must get up even earlier to defend our freedom."
