I've had having some family discussions tonight about the late Margaret Thatcher. Nothing like her to divide opinions.
I was in London the day after the 1983 General Election in the days when you could still get into Downing Street (I took the photo above as we waited for the Iron Lady to appear) - something that the Labour Party failed to do. Its not just Downing Street that is less accessible these days but the press too.
I was with Dougie Corkill in 1983 and Dougie was a supporter of the SDP (the Social Democrat Party) and when we set sat in a bar in Fleet Street we listened to some journalists drowning their sorrows. They were not happy that Mrs Thatcher had returned to power and blamed the SDP for splitting the opposition.
