Heath, maybe?

I don’t know how a twelve year old would know who Heath was in 1961 and recognize him a decade later.

Unless the twelve year old was one of Heath's favourites

In a tabloid, he accused Heath of being a rapist and a satanist, claiming just one instance of the former, IIRC. Nobody else has claimed either.

Actually, Thatcher is one of my all time favorite historical leaders. Sure, Thatcherism (and capitalism in general) has its excesses, but the libertarian in me still vastly favors capitalism as superior to socialism. While I believe the basic sustainers of human life (healthcare, food, water, education, etc) should be available to all, I don't believe in the distribution of personal wealth that is legitimately gained.

I was a hardcore Ayn Rand fan in 2012-2013, and I continue to insist that Ayn Rand's We the Living is the most influential book I've ever read.

Out of curiosity, when you were a hardcore Ayn Rand fan, were you a white nationalist? Because she talked an awful lot like a eugenicist for an “individualist”.
