ENOUGH of all this sterile speculation as to whether or not Margaret Thatcher was the greatest British Prime Minister since the Second World War.

Has this fickle nation so rapidly forgotten the unique contribution of the premier who so honestly and courageously, if not very mathematically, proclaimed: “There are two problems in my life.

“The political ones are insoluble and the economic ones are incomprehensible.”

As for that tune, could not Ding, Dong Merrily On High have been broadcast as a compromise solution?

Finally, will not the proposed museum and library dedicated to the Iron Lady be a sitting target for her enemies for years to come?
