BRITAIN AT THE BRINK - Keith W Stump - August 1979

Keith W Stump

A new British Prime Minister sits in Downing Street. Will she be more successful than her predecessors in pulling Britain out of economic stagnation and putting the beleaguered isle on a new road to prosperity? What does Bible prophecy say? Britain has a new Prime Minister. On May 3, Conservative leader Margaret Thatcher and her Tory party swept into power with a comfortable 43-seat overall majority in the newly elected House of Commons. The new Tory government replaces the minority Labor government of James Callaghan which had lost a vote of confidence in March, precipitating the early national balloting. Mrs. Thatcher thus becomes Britain's (and Western Europe's) first woman Prime Minister. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
