Before 1980, if you asked Americans to name a British prime minister, most would invoke the name of Winston Churchill. Margaret Thatcher changed that.

SC-1: “Flame On,” Teddy Turner
We already knew Teddy Turner had a “black people problem.” But does he have a “gay people problem,” too?
While initial reports suggested he might have offered up an insensitive remark targeting homosexuals, audio obtained exclusively by FITS doesn’t appear to support that conclusion.
