"make Great Britain great again"-Margaret H. Roberts (Thatcher) Feb 3, 1950

This was from a General Election Address when the Conservatives were trying to gain control. What made me do a search on Make Britain Great Again was tonight's episode of Endeavour on PBS. There was cruel teacher, coach, whatever who was wearing a pin with that slogan. Endeavour takes place around 1968. It is interesting that tRump even stole that.

Here's a link to that speach:

All good con men (and women) know that the way to people's wallets, is through their ego.

Great find, Texas Progressive.
