Twenty Years On

Can you remember the name of the Prime Minister who took us into the Exchange Rate Mechanism in the first place?

I'll give you a few clues:

- she signed the Single European Act and the Anglo-Irish Agreement;

- she significantly weakened national sovereignty and the Union by dismantling the nationalised industries and much of the Welfare State;

- she created the later problems with immigration by ending the insistence on "no union card, no job";

- she enacted the Children Act, and the Police and Criminal Evidence Act;

- she legalised abortion up to birth, and destructive experimentation on embryonic human beings;

- she replaced O-levels with GCSEs;

- she destroyed the economic basis of paternal authority at least in working-class families and communities;

- she invented mass benefit dependency, and benefit dependency for years and generations on end;

- she sought to arrogate to herself the role of the monarch and of the Royal Family;

- she invited Argentina into the Falkland Islands and then had to repel that invasion using ships that she had been about to flog off at a knock-down price to Argentina;

- she tried to destroy small and family business by turning Sunday into just another shopping day, and she came only too close to success;

- she attempted to end Christian collective worship and the teaching of Christianity in schools;

- she was at the heart of what has just been exposed as probably this country's biggest criminal conspiracy since the War, if not ever; and

- she named John Major as her preferred successor.

There is plenty more, but that should be enough.

Any guesses?
