Thatcher when her country needs her? ...The British complainers should save
their compassionate concern for the underclass of London, Birmingham,

ratinfested neighbourhoods- and who would welcome clean clothes and living
quarters and enough to eat every day.
==+==
So the US press does talk about this...
