I wonder how many people would be willing to be on the same photo as Thatcher nowadays?

Don't forget Jack Mrs Thatcher also took us into an unnecessary war, a war of her own creating.

DTease.Thatcher was protecting an invasion of British territory. The consequences of the Blair and Bush war is still present today.

Jack, she wasn't protecting British Territory when she decommissioned the Survey Ship despite being advised that it would send entirely the wrong message to the Argentinians.As always Thatcher thought she knew better than the experts and we ended up with a war that is still costing us millions of pounds a year all these years later.

The horrible thing is Jack that Thatcher never really died, her spirit occupied the body of a woman known to us as Theresa May.
