While November 22nd is a time of mourning in the United States - John Fitgerald Kennedy was assasinated on that date in 1963 - in Britain it should be a day of celebration, because on that date in 1990 we we're finally rid of Margaret Thatcher. It was, perhaps, the only time that the Tory party did actually work in the national interest. Francois Mitterand once described her as "having the lips of Marilyn Monroe and the eyes of Caligula." He was at least half right, though I doubt Caligula would have enjoyed the joke. I wonder what the old French wag would have said about Cameron? Answers on a postcard please.
