Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Thatcher told the other campers about plans to celebrate the anniversary of her mother acquiring the nickname Iron Lady. She said: "It's the 30th anniversary next year of the Ruskies [Russians] calling my mum the Iron Lady. I really do want to do something because I do think there is a gap, in that we never knew what did the Russians think about her?
"She was given that nickname, which did her the power of good internationally ... because people expected her to be tough."
The singer Jimmy Osmond asked what Lady Thatcher did for fun these days. "Well, not a lot," Thatcher replied. "She's not very well. She's got to a ripe old age really and if you hold down that sort of job for 11 and a half years something is going to blow a gasket on you, isn't it?"
