Mrs Thatcher

I must admit - I am not one of Margaret Thatcher's admirers. I remain very critical of her policies; her impact on British society (though she did say - "there is no such thing as society" - for the full quote, in context, go here); and her legacy of eurosceptism and "Thatcherism"

Yet, Washminster can still wish Mrs Thatcher a happy Birthday. She is 85 today. She is still occasionally seen in the House of Lords, where she sits as as Baroness Thatcher, of Kesteven in the County of Lincolnshire. A biography of her can be found here.
