During her time as PM she reduced the influence of trade unions and scaled back public benefits.<\/p>\n<p>She was nicknamed the &#8216;Iron Lady&#8217; by a Soviet journalist &#8211; a term which stuck after it became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lady Thatcher opposed communism and initiated the Falkland war to maintain control over the region&#8217;s islands.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She was pressured into resigning by members of her own Conservative Party after her government lowered income tax rates to a postwar low.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She pushed an unpopular &#8216;community charge&#8217; (also known as the poll tax) which set a flat rate of tax for every person in the country. It was met with numerous street protests and lots of people simply refused to pay.\u00a0 It was abolished and replaced with council tax in 1993.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> She officially stepped down on November 28 in 1990 after trying to ensure that John Major and not Heseltine would replace her.<\/p>\n<p>Lady Thatcher remained in parliament until 1992, at which time she entered the House of Lords and began to write her memoirs.<\/p>\n<p>She was then hired by the large tobacco company Philip Morris\u00a0 as a &#8216;geopolitical consultant&#8217; in July 1992, for $250,000 per year and an annual contribution of $250,000 to her foundation. Thatcher earned $50,000 for each speech she delivered.<\/p>\n<p>After Tony Blair was elected in 1994 she praised him as &#8216;probably the most formidable Labour leader since Hugh Gaitskell.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She stopped appearing in public after suffering a series of small strokes in the early 2000s and began suffering from dementia.<\/p>\n<p>In 2002 she was asked what her greatest legacy was and replied: &#8216;Tony Blair and New Labour.\u00a0We forced our opponents to change their minds.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Later that year she came in at number 16 on the BBC&#8217;s poll of 100 Greatest Britons.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, she became the subject of an award-winning biographical film, &#8216;The Iron Lady,&#8217; which depicted her political rise and fall.<\/p>\n<p>She died aged 87 on April 8, 2013, after suffering another stroke.<\/p>\n<p>She was given a ceremonial funeral\u00a0including full military honours, with a church service at St Paul&#8217;s Cathedral.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9146663\/Margaret-Thatchers-30m-six-storey-bomb-proof-mansion-Belgravia-rented-65-000-MONTH.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime real estate!
