Quote legaleagle at 07 Mar 2015 12.38pm Politically,I "hated" Thatcher.But I had a friend who worked as a civil servant in No 10 at the time who said she was a very decent and considerate person to work for on a one to one basis ,compared to many other politicians. I've heard that she was a total power freak and would use any situation to protect her position and family [somebody in particular was up to no good or maybe he was deliberately drawn into nefarious business activity]. It could well be that it was convenient to turn a blind eye but more likely that the very people she would turn to were already complicit and able to control her? Who knows? Denial is not just a river in Egypt!

Quote nickgusset at 07 Mar 2015 12.03pm Did you read the earlier link? Have you read the reports in the press about files disappearing somewhat conveniently? I think evidence is adding up. You it would seem don't. Why? Maybe it's to do with the lack of evidence.....Where's your evidence that evidence has been lost deliberately? Indeed, evidence against who? What? Was it even 'evidence'? I take my position because I believe in justice being fair to all parties and based upon rationality and proof. I don't like finger pointing and rumour mongering being regarded as valid positions. Edited by Stirlingsays (07 Mar 2015 1.17pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith.

I worked at the Houses of Parliament at that time and quite a few politicians of all parties treated such people in my experience like sh1t. I completely agree with you in terms of Thatcher (like so many prominent politicians) protecting matters relating to potential political/personal damage,whether involving family,civil servants, politicians or anyone else.Personally,but never having met her,I found her "unbearable" as an individual.
