Re: No-nonsense, whisky-loving Thatcher exposed in secret ...

[Guest guest]

There is another story about her.

The SAS and most other special forces have something called a killing house. This is a specially made house that is like a real house that are used for live fire training. Very often they will place live "hostages" in there, usually other team members. Sometimes visiting dignitaries also get the treatment.

The story goes that Thatcher went there to see the SAS "in action." She was given a chair in the killing house with one of her attendants on either side of her. They wait and all of a sudden the SAS men kicked in the door and came in shooting. One of the attendants dropped on the floor, and Thatcher said, calmly from her chair in the midst of all the ruckus:

"Get up, you are embarrassing me." Or something to that effect.

They reveal that Thatcher refused a guard of 20 "karate ladies" when she visited Japan soon after becoming prime minister in 1979 and personally handled pistols to decide which model was best for police in Northern Ireland.

You either loved or loathed her if you lived in the UK at this time.

I always found her to be on a different planet as they say, She may have

restricted our Unions but she destroyed our Industries, Most unpopular Prime

minister ever ( at that time , Brown must have that honour now) and was only

saved by the Falklands war.

For me she is a disaster and should be written in History as a nightmare... but

most older people think she was great. Her levels of unemployment have still not

been reached in this recession, whatever happened to Moneterism, don't hear much

about it now. Rant over.
