Speaking in the Commons earlier on Wednesday, Labour MP Paul Flynn said the unveiling of a statue of "one of the four giants of 20th century politics" was a "very happy event".

Baroness Thatcher's health is once more the subject of intense scrutiny amid claims that old age has left the one-time Iron Lady with only a fragile grip on reality.

She is, incidentally, famous for her candour, even in Holland, where she rides on the broomstick of Margaret Thatcher’s old nickname, “The Iron Lady”.
In addition to the immigration legislation, she was already known for her remark: “The time for cosy tea-drinking with Muslim groups is over.” And for several others, to the effect that, given a Muslim propensity to offer critiques of Dutch society, the non-Muslim Dutch should feel equally free to critique Islamic manners and morals.

And, except for one reference to an interview with the PM in which she announced that her underclothes came from Marks & Spencer, the tone of the narrative is humorless verging on dour.
Regardless of its shortcomings, THE IRON LADY is, in the absence of more engaging versions, an excellent source of knowledge on its subject.
