Growth recovering following an op to remove Baroness Thatcher

Baroness Thatcher is recovering in hospital following a 'minimally invasive' operation to remove a growth from her bladder.

The operation was carried out after Lady Thatcher, 87, was admitted to hospital suffering from abdominal pains.

The former prime minister, who has suffered some ill health in recent years, is 'absolutely fine' following the procedure, a spokeswoman said.

The surgery was 'completely satisfactory', said Lord Tim Bell.

Evelyn Waugh, who was a friend, captured the mood of many after Churchill had had a growth removed by surgery. On hearing that the growth was not malignant, Waugh said "It was a typical triumph of modern science to find the one part of Randolph which was not malignant and to remove it."

Meanwhile, I have no feelings either way about Thatcher.

I have little empathy, but she's now a sick old lady with dementia who can do little harm. I'd rather concentrate on the clear and present danger represented by her successors.
