Site of the Month for May 2009

May the 4th is the 30th Anniversary of Margaret Thatcher becoming Prime Minister. Whatever ones views on the Lady and her policies, she was not only the first Woman Prime Minister, but changed Britain and British Politics dramatically.

I have therefore chosen a site that in detail covers the Lady, her Politics, Time in Government and later life:

Margaret Thatcher Foundation
