"Born to a grocer", eh? I thought it was her father who was the grocer, not her mother. Also I think you should mention her extreme cleverness in being pregnant only once but managing to produce a son and a daughter in one go. It also helped to marry a very rich man. (Do you detect a hint of jealousy here, to add to all the other anti-vibes?)

Surely there should be some mention of the mutual love-in betweem Thatcher and US President, Ronald Reagan - their economic policies, Thatcherism and Reagonomics, were almost identical.

The underlying unfairness (for the majority) of their policies led to the eventual rise to power of Bill Clinton in America and Tony Blair in Britain.
