Mrs Thatcher

I don't know about anyone else but I am disgusted by the news that Mrs Thatcher's daughter Carol is trying to make money out of describing her mother's dementia.

Margaret Thatcher was a controversial figure and there is now an element of giggling humour, as there was with Ronald Reagan, that the symptoms stretch further back.

I think anyone is entitled to a simple public statement that they are suffering from the disease, and that their family and intimates keep their own counsel.
