Last time I checked, Thatcher didn't run the country. If there are any developments I should hear of, please let me know.

Also, Thatcher went to Oxford.

NEWSFLASH: Thatcher isn't PM. Unless you're living in the 1980s. Are you living in the 1980s? The current Prime Minister is a man named Gordon Brown.

Alright, under the intensity of your interrogation, I am forced to admit that Thatcher was, at some unspecified point in our recent history, Prime Minister. Your point being?

Aha but David Miliband got a D at physics A-level, thus proving that people go into being a politician because they can't become a scientist/engineer :yep:
