    When I wrote to her in 1987 about the disappearance of the British Merchant fleet, I didn't get an 'aparatchick's' typed letter or a pass off to a 'more appropriate' Ministry, I received a hand written letter signed by her which answered each of the points that I raised. I didn't agree with the policy that was explained and it didn't change my mind about the short sightedness that I felt was destroying our country's future expertise in the maritime sector, but I was impressed that I got such a comprehensive hand written reply and, as a result, have never been put-off approaching politicians directly at whatever level they sit in the hierarchy of whatever country.

    My experience was that she cared and she did what she thought was right regardless of whether it would be universally popular (which it often wasn't). These things are worthy of respect, whether one agreed with her or not.
