Nobody can see the future. I think this is just manufactured news. As great as Thatcher was, she didn't save the world. Blair is significant, but just another PM. All PMs are not created equal. A fairer assessment would have been to quiz people on Atlee. He's surely far, far, far less recognizable today than Churchill. If people in Britain are still speaking English in 80 years, Churchill will be remembered.
