    Jan - at the end of her time Mrs T was at odds with pro-EU members of her government and had been forced by Major (and most of the establishment including the CBI, Unions, the media and the other political parties) into allowing entry into the EMU. In the end it was she who was proven right when in Major's time EMU collapsed in a shambolic 'black' or perhaps I should say 'white' Wednesday. That hardly resembles a 'dictator' who did not listen. In the run up to joining EMU she and her adviser, Alan Waters, fought them all over this issue, even the Mail had a headline saying she should 'listen to her brilliant Chancellor'. If only she was such a dictator as you suggest, we would never have joined EMU while she was premier. Perhaps your impression of her as a 'dictator' who did not listen reflects an impression of that period when she and Sir Alan were right and all the rest were wrong!
