Allan Conn	Obit: Margaret Thatcher Dead (1925-2013) (365* d)	RE: Obit: Margaret Thatcher Dead (1925-2013)	10 Apr 13
"'The ANC is a typical terrorist organisation ... Anyone who thinks it is going to run the government in South Africa is living in cloud-cuckoo land' - Margaret Thatcher, 1987" According to a blog on politicsweb it is claimed that this is oft mentioned Thatcher quote wasn't all her. The blog claims that only the first part of the quote was her and was in response to threats against British corporations in South Africa! The part about cloud cuckoo land they say was a different quote from Bernard Bingham. Not defending her just putting it in supposed context. Don't know what the truth is as far as the cloud cuckoo land bit. Is there any contemporary evidence that she said that or is it just later claims that she did? http://www.politicsweb.co.za/politicsweb/view/politicsweb/en/page71619?oid=368489&sn=Detail&pid=71619
