Budget cuts show Government has failed to learn from predecessors

I WATCHED the movie The Iron Lady on Sunday night.

I know it was criticised when it first came out, but it seemed to me a sympathetic portrayal of a sad lonely old lady, haunted by the decisions she had made. And wondering, perhaps, if she had ever made a mistake.

Love her or loathe her, Margaret Thatcher was one of the most remarkable political figures of her generation.
