Ironed Out

Was she "the Iron Lady" when, within a few months of election on clear commitments with regard to Rhodesia, she simply abandoned them at the Commonwealth Conference in Lusaka?

Was she "the Iron Lady" when, having claimed that Britain would never give up Hong Kong, she took barely twenty-four hours to return to Planet Earth and effect a complete U-turn?

Was she "the Iron Lady" when she took just as little time to move from public opposition to public support of Spanish accession to the Western European Union?

Was she "the Iron Lady" when she gave up monetarism completely during her second term?

And so on, and on, and on.

Get over her.
