Margaret Thatcher had 'psychopathic tendencies' and was 'not in touch' emotionally- says actress who played the politician in her younger years
On 3 June 2011 I wrote a blog under the title of “The Broken Model”. Due to its relevance to this blog, I wish to note it once again:
“Do you remember that Margaret Thatcher, the so-called Iron Lady!! She told the Brits that she was going to put the “Great” back into the “Great” Britain. Do you remember? Then, she told us this can only happen if we accept and implement the “Washington Consensus”, the so-called dreaded neo-liberalism. She told us that there was no alternative. She told us we will all prosper and develop more fairly and equitably. She won election after elections. Everything was privatised, deregulated, self-regulated. Industry, manufacturing, (the real economy) was destroyed. Instead, the banks and the bankers were encouraged to rule the world. The economists with no principles and values were “bought” and the business schools, such as Harvard and Columbia were showered with money to act as “Cheer Leaders” for the dreaded neo-liberalism (see the Inside Job for evidence). Communities were dis-mantled and dis-organised. We were told that there is nothing as a society and community. We are all in it just for ourselves, we were told. Destructive competition at the expense of life-enhancing cooperation, collaboration and dialogue was greatly prompted. We were told to say no to love, kindness, generosity, sympathy and empathy and say yes to selfishness, individualism and narcissism, as these values will fire the engine of capitalism and wealth creation! In short, the hell with the common good, we were encouraged to believe.We were brained-washed. Our other Prime Ministers repeated her nonsense and have carried on her footsteps. It is now over 30 years since the neo-liberalism experiment in Britain. Are we any “Greater” than we were in 1979? Are we any fairer or more equitable? The country is nearly bankrupt, with public and private debt at unprecedented levels, with greatest levels of poverty and wealth disparity ever. The house of neo-liberal capitalism is now at its nadir of decadence.”
You see, all those interested in life’s bigger picture, have been saying the same, over and over. The neo-liberals are not in touch with humanity. They will prostitute all in the interest of profit maximization, cost minimization, highest return to the shareholders, and the biggest and juiciest bonuses for the CEOs and their lackeys.
And now let us see what the actress who has played the young Thatcher in a BBC drama has to say about her.
“The actress who played a young Baroness Thatcher believes the politician had 'psychopathic tendencies' because she did not feel enough guilt over her actions.
Actress Andrea Riseborough says she believes Lady Thatcher, had a 'loose' connection with humanity.
She is still untouchable for many because she didn't operate in the way others did. Her connection with humanity was a very loose thread. Emotionally, she was not in touch with herself or anybody else.
As well as being such an intelligent woman, I would say she had psychopathic tendencies. As I understand it, the term implies a tendency not to feel as much guilt about one's actions as perhaps one ought to.”…
And no wonder she dismanttled all that was once good in this country and in tandem with her body, the once cowboy Regean they destroyed all that was good in the world.
