The picture on the right is from the Nineties, and I'm rather fond of it, because I manage to look both goofy and shifty but Mrs Thatcher's cool is undiminished. I don't know why the harp was there, but, when she was a little girl, my daughter asked if the lady in the photo was a famous harpist and I was singing with her. Sadly not. I'll be talking about the Thatcher years on The Hugh Hewitt Show today (Thursday), but meanwhile, I thought it would be worth dusting off a piece I mentioned the other day, written for the Telegraph on the 25th anniversary of the Iron Lady's arrival in Downing Street....
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
