Lady T

Lady Thatcher was a serious woman - the Duke of Wellington of her time. The Churchill of her generation at conservative central office. Aside from such party considerations, she was every housewife's choice because she knew that come hell or high water, whatever the local TUC official said in the pubs around the factories each day at lunchtime, there had to be food on the table for the kids by 6 o'clock every evening. It took a woman to brush up the economy of sick industrial Britain in 1979.
