Mrs. Thatcher and Free Trade

Not to flog this to death, Peter, but I just want to point out that Maggie

resisted all calls to privatize the British Post Office. Why? Because P.O.

vans bear the logo ROYAL MAIL and the Royal crest, and Maggie would not

touch anything with the Royal crest on it. She was also, of course, the

Eurocrats’ worst nightmare, EVEN on trade issues.
