Missunsamhetens drottning

Den frysande staden bjuder på affischer av Meryl Streep i rollen som en tidigare brittisk premiärminister.
Redan stillbilden påminner om att Streep är en stor skådespelare, men också om att det man tyckte illa om inte bara var den konkreta politiken och den tvivelaktiga ekonomiska teori som låg bakom, utan också något med själva attityden, som Streep tycks fånga bara genom sitt sätt att hålla huvudet.

"Missunsamhetens drottning", sade A-L, och det är på pricken.

Man blir tvungen att gå hem och spela Harvey Andrews "Targets" som fångar just det där (bland annat).

Originalversionen finns tyvärr inte ute på nätet, men en hyfsad cover hittar man här.

You read it now, they tell you how
  the Lady is a Leader
With hats and curls and strings of pearls,
  they say the people need her
She took the milk from my son John,
  locked it in her larder
Then said, The secret of success
 is - work a little harder

Call us equal, call us proud
Call yourself a liar
No matter what the people do
They'll set the targets higher

My girl she nurses sick and old,
 the builders of the nation
And then they pay a pauper's wage
  and tell her it's vocation
She'd love to ride the world around,
  to give the cups and prizes
But someone's got to lead the blind
  and see the cripple rises

We would have married long ago
  and we're still hoping one day
Two up two down and a little lawn
  and time to rest on Sunday
I wish the ones who kept us here
  could live like us and borrow
I'd place a pound for what it's worth
  they'd be gone tomorrow
We'd like a yacht, some rooms to spare,
  horses in the stable
We might as well believe that we
  could buy meat for the table

Call us equal, call us proud
Call yourself a liar
No matter what the people do
They'll set the targets higher
