Baroness Thatcher

The Carlton Club held a Reception to mark the publication of "The Carlton Club 1832 – 2007" by Sir Charles Petrie and Alistair Cooke. Not only was the evening attended by Sir Peter Petrie, son of Sir Charles but the great lady herself, Baroness Thatcher, was also in attendance.

It was the second time I'd met her and I am pleased to say she is still on fine form! It still feels strange meeting the Prime Minister who had such a profound and positive impact on our country, particularly as my entire pre-adolescent life was spent under a Thatcher Government. I couldn't resist thanking her for her legacy, I'm convinced our generation will take classic liberalism even further...
