I was just watching a discussion on BBC about Thatcher |

7. The BBC had a DocuDrama on Pinochet and Thatcher |
|
He stayed at her house in order to prolong extradition back to Spain for war crimes...see they are the ones doing justice now, not the Brits or Americans then he died. when it was finally cleared out for him to go back.... She was one nasty iron lady.
I will try to give a link to it, it was totally anti Thatcher and really
