Did Maggie bomb your family then, got around the old dear didn't she, spose Dennis was rear gunner.

How do you know that I am not Argentinian or have Argentinian friends/relations who may have been on The Belgrano?

I do wish you'd not quoted that...

I now have an unpleasant mental image of Dennis Thatcher sodomising his wife as she was bent over the Despatch Box.

A far better piece of music to commemorate her legacy would surely be "Lascia ch'io pianga" from Rinaldo:

Lascia ch'io pianga
mia cruda sorte,
e che sospiri la libertà.
Il duolo infranga queste ritorte
de' miei martiri sol per pietà.

To quote MRS T

Please remind me - who was the PM when Britain joined the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, which resulted in speculators causing a run on Sterling and the Bank of England base rate to be hiked up to 15%?

Those policies, which caused recession for the country and misery for many, hardly seem to have been wise.

It was at the end of the Thatcher era and the beginning of the Major Era. Thatcher was PM when the decision was made but was not leader for that much longer thereafter....

It was at the end of the Thatcher error and the beginning of the Major Era.

No - John Major-Ball was still the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

He was ideally suited to that role, having once applied for a job as a bus conductor.

Thatcher was PM when the decision was made

Exactly,

Yet she could still harangue Labour about economic prudence?

You mean these ones? The same Labour Party that lost an 18 point lead in the 1992 election and Mrs Thatcher was even up against them but John Major was.
