6 feet under (after cremation) I believe!
But in that list, she's #5!
Not sure your right about the cremation but her and Dennis are laid to rest at the Royal Hospital Chelsea.

H'mm! Seems to me that it's you that's 'a tad blinkered' if you think that!
Plenty of influence in some parts of UK though! 'Big fish in a small pond' seems highly appropriate!

That's generous, more like a small fish in a large pond IMHO.

She has enough influence to put an end to the UK so I would think the title of the poll/thread is more appropriate.
Perhaps that is what folks are voting for.
May is in about 13th place...behind lots of dead women.
What does that tell you about small fish in big ponds.

I'm less sure about the '6 feet under', which was really just an expression. I'm certain of the 'cremation' though! We agree about where she 'rests' though - under a marble plaque at RHC, beside Dennis's plaque/ashes.
She has as much influence in that as i do!
She calls for a vote and loses said vote. I thought influence was the ability to effect change, not just bleat about wanting it?

Sorry but no she hasn’t enough influence to end the UK because she has done nothing but words - lots of hot air and words - your country already voted in this generation and the country got their answer. Anything she says after that is just disrespectful to her countrymen and ladies decision. Maybe you could say most disrespectful Women in GB then.
But what exact influence has she had on GB beyond speaking lots of words ? Has she actually changed anything , has she made anything that will be remembered for years and decades to come - many in GB prob wouldn’t even know her real name instead of being called Jimmy Krankie - she has made zero impact on GB as whole - zero

Absolutely nothing! Though that's not far off her 'achievements' so far!

Come on folks, this is an important poll which includes has beens and celebrates, if DfT wants to rate her inamongst them that's his choice.

That didn't take long.
Perhaps folk are voting for her in droves because of the attitudes of folk like you.:lol:

Perhaps you could list 10 more appropriate British women who are not on the list.........I won't hold my breath.

Not that interested in the poll but as always I like your take on it. I would also put Ms Black way ahead of Sturgeon who has made many interesting speeches in parliament which have been on cross party issues

They are according to this national poll.oo:
Nothing to do with me, don't shoot the messenger.
And do you believe this to be accurate?

Is there any mention of Baroness Mone?

Is that it Doon ? Is that all you can muster in your support of her ?
Ok I’ll try something - Couple of questions
1. What is it that she has done that makes her the most influential female in Britain ? Can we have some actual specifics of something she has done that has changed the map within GB
2. Do you think this poll is anything more than people like you ( Pro Scottish/Anti English) just voting for her regardless so that they can stick two fingers up to English people - just like you are doing with this thread

No, and she should be there, likewise Karen Brady, JK Rowling and many others ahead of the likes of Mhari Black. I’d even argue the SNP have a more influential women in their ranks (well she’s sadly passed not but no less relevant) than the 2 listed in Margo MacDonald

More seriously, you'd have to be considering the inclusion of the 'Dagenham girls' whose action led to the Equal Pay Act...

I assume this must be a Scottish Sky poll.
No mention of the one woman the United Kingdom has to thank.....Mo Mowlem.

Brady and JKR are on the list..........goodness this is beginning to sound like a TV quiz.
Mone....struth, you are just being silly now, or on a deliberate wind up.
Agree that Margo should have been there, but then that would probably have made it three out of the top four.
