Margaret Thatcher's brush with death.
Being young at the time I was more interested in playing with my starcom set than the fate of the British Prime Minister but how did the Iron Lady (and the whole government) react to be almost being killed in the hotel by an IRA bomb? There would have been enormous ramifications to the decapitation of the British government. The entire country would have been a headless chicken. How did M. Thatcher ensure that it didn't happen again?

While we're looking things up Loosehead why don't you try internment and how effective that was.
And how the hard-line apartheid stance against the ANC got them to surrender.
Great thing about history you can find examples and counter examples for just about anything.
Bottom line: Magaret Thacher failed to stop IRA bombs and John Major/Tony Blair succeded
We have seen since the Good Friday Agreement that it was always the Republicans who were ready to accept peace and it was other factions and communities who seem determined to carry on a pointless war.
Mrs Thatcher had one of the highest IQ's ever tested, the fact that you are not intelectually able to comprehend her methods does not make her "thick". In fact you label yourself in the process of trying to label her.
Typical lefty approach, anyone who doesn't sign up to their flawed ideology must be dim. They just love hating MT because she routinely demonstrated how wrong they are/where.
Besides who cares how intelligent she was - Ted Bundy and Joseph Goebels were very intelligent and i cant 'intellectually comprehend' their methods either.
She was an inhumane evil witch who can rot in hell for all i care (after a long painful death preferably).
Anybody who thinks there is �lasting peace� in Northern Ireland has obviously not been there recently.
Anybody who cannot forgive Margaret Thatcher "for what she did to this country" obviously is not able to remember what it was like here in the 1970s (and what it would still be like today had she not acted as she did).
What a pathetic bunch of ********* some of you are. I suspect most of you have never lifted a finger for your country and have managed to live privileged lives off the back of the improvements that MT put in place. You somehow feel that you're entitled to come out with such vitriolic diatribe because of who we're talking about and that it makes your insignifcant contributions to modern Britain somewhat justified. Pathetic.
And, for the record, I wasn't a fan of hers either but I think I can discuss her record in a more grown-up manner and appreciate the enormity of some of her achievements.
