Thatcher's children

She has not begun to stem the tide of British ugliness—the yobbish teenagers shivering in their torn gear; the shoddy streets littered with fast-food packaging; the drunks urinating on London's tube platforms; the drug culture. It is facile to call those concerned “Thatcher's children”: she is not responsible for their actions.

Margaret Thatcher is a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Denis Thatcher is her husband, and Mark Thatcher and Carol Thatcher are Thatcher's children.
