    The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have added so much to the working Royals. The King has a staunch ally in this couple. They are respectful and wonderful at the same time. They don't try to outshine the King and Queen, but to try to support them in whatever way they can. Hear, Hear!

      I’m really happy to see Edward and Sophie out more. I would also like to see more of Princess Beatrice (not Eugenie) and Edo. The huge generational gap among senior royals is already causing a scaling back of duties. especially with Charles, Catherine, and Anne partially sidelined. More, younger backup support is needed.

    River, I have lived through an awful lot of elections and the debate about the disparity between vote share and number of seats happens every time. (By vote share, even the Tories would have had more seats!). Governments in this country are cyclical - starting a new cycle now, everything will seem great and gradually over the next years voices of dissension will arise and grow louder with the seats gradually reducing in each election until eventually the Government collapses and it all starts again. Frankly, I wouldn't want to be PM as it is a poisoned chalice.

He was known as the " Gentleman" dressed impeccably and was descended from wealthy land owners/ Race horse breeders. Even today they still burn effigies of Thatcher! Needless to say it doesn't go down well when I remind them that they now all own their ex council homes, got over forty thousand pounds payout from the mine closures, plus a job at Nissan Sunderland,all thanks To Margaret Thatcher! I thought she was tremendous. This country prospered under her, The jobs were there for those who wanted them, and she took no crap! A strong woman in a man's world who was stabbed in the back.

    I got to meet Margaret Thatcher in Dallas at a book signing. I admired her very much and loved to listen to Parliament debates. I was convinced that part of her success was the fact that among the rumbly voices of the men being raucous, you could hear her voice and understand every word over their constant commenting. She was firm, humorous, quick-witted, and unfazed.

      I can't tell you the number of times I've got downright vitriolic comments, simply from remarking that Mrs Thatcher was an example of a truly strong woman.
      I don't even say it as a supporter of hers. I was a working class child in Northern England when she first came to office, and she did us no favours.
      But when I look at so many women of today who shout from the roof tops about how strong they are, whilst acting quite the opposite, of course I'm going to make comparisons.
      Mrs Thatcher was a woman in a heavily male dominated world, and she never used The Woman Card. She saw the playing field and she played on it, in the same way as the men.
      They respected her for that, even when they didn't like her.

Reform had nearly 14% of the share and have just five seats - you tell me how that is a fair representation of the vote and therefore democracy? Also Labour with a peer of the realm, multi millionaire as lead of a "socialist" party, had just under 34% of the vote on the lowest turn out since 1945 yet had a "landslide victory". A few years back they had 31% of the vote and resoundingly lost the election.

      Saw Margaret Thatcher speak at Virginia Military Institute (VMI) some years ago (I was an adjunct there a few years later). The Iron Lady rolled in with that handbag and made a great speech. She totally dominated that huge arena filled primarily with eager military cadets. A memorable experience! After she left office, she served as Chancellor at the College of William and Mary in Virginia (my alma mater). Some people see that chancellor position as strictly honorary, but not Thatcher. She visited often and took an active interest in university affairs and events.

      I lived in UK during her reign, on the wrong side of her particular class war. She had some great personal strengths and was indeed articulate; but she also began the destruction of much that was positive in UK, particularly her attack on housing and all the other services that were the responsibility of local councils. Don't put her on too high a pedestal.

      Quite so. I admire the fact that was a strong woman. But I can do that whilst knowing that she was ruthless towards the working class, particularly in the North.

And mining is a tough enough job already, without them having to fight the government tooth and nail.

      The Prime Ministerial game of musical chairs saw five administrations in 1834 to 1835: Lord Grey til July 1834, then Lord Melbourne from July 1834, then Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington from November 1834, then Sir Robert Peel from December 1834, returning to William Lamb, Lord Melbourne in April 1835.
      1885 to 1886 saw four administrations alternating between Mr Gladstone, and Lord Salisbury.
      1922 to 1924 saw Lloyd George out in October 1922 to be replaced by Bonar Law who lasted til May 1923, and who was replaced,by Ramsay MacDonald in January 1924, before being replaced by Stanley Baldwin in November 1924; which is four administrations in two years.
