It should be Maggie's. However, I think you will find that the post of "Maggie's general hatchetman" was filled by Norman Tebbitt.

That doesnt mean you get on your bike and come here SB

OK. Maggies general hatchetman ?

Keith Joseph was the brains behind "Thatcherism" while Maggie was more of the frontman.

We all know that the public cannot be trusted with such power. Power as we know is far better managed by the state.

Have you started working for the "Ministry"?

In my radical student days I had a pic of Keith Joseph ( anyone rem him ? ) with a noose around his neck on my wall. I think he was threatening to take our beer money, sorry grant, away.

He had some ridiculous idea of giving out education vouchers that would enable everyone no matter how rich or poor to exercise choice about where they could send their children to school.
