Margaret Thatcher told Peter Mandelson the Irish are all liars and not to be trusted.What made Mrs Thatcher take such a view of us as a people. Maybe it was because we did not bend to the will of the Iron Lady. Unlike many of her victims foreign and domestic we did not back down when faced with the full force of her wrath. The cowards and yes men she surrounded herself with in her cabinet for example only stood up to her when it looked like she was taking them towards political oblivion. In fact the only man in England to stand up to her was Arthur Scargill the leader of the Mineworkers Union but he sadly failed. Margaret Thatcher will go down in history as the woman who economically destroyed the United Kingdom and set the ball rolling on it's breaking up into several pieces.
