that was only too happy to knife Thatcher in the back when she had outlived her usefulness. It seems everyone is keen to downplay exactly how she was turfed out of number 10. It was not done by left wingers, PC liberals, the unions, the Labour party or even the wider electorate but by her own party. Remember that every time you see David Cameron or Boris Johnson wiping away a tear.

No front seat at St Paul's for him next week I think.

It was not just the country that Thatcher divided

Make people pay individual donations to pay for the police etc. work. It's what she would have wanted - for anyone else.
