I'm sorry, I didn't see a rule that stated "Women you respect, but not Thatcher"

Is this what she has done as a real person or as a soap opera character?

This week it has to be Reanne Evans, the snooker player. Won women's world title last nine years in a row (first prize: £500). Refused to go down easier route of playing pool in USA as snooker is first love. Didn't win a match all season in only year on main tour against men three years ago. Single mum who can only continue practising, playing and travelling with massive childcare help from family and friends. Banned from playing league snooker earlier in career at several clubs in West Midlands simply for being a woman. Huge breakthrough last week becoming first woman ever to reach final stages of a major ranking tournament. For winning the match that got here there she won six times what she got for winning women's world title in April.
