Her words were something like "perhaps Maggie may ...." She obviously didn't have a clue what it was about: a hamfisted attempt by her speechwriters to appeal to the common man.

As to whether she was referring to the Liverpool sailor's song MAGGIE MAY or Rod Stewart's MAGGIE MAY only the speechwriter will know.

I can't find any confirmation on the web that Margaret Thatcher actually said that. Can you verify the quote? Maybe knowing the exact words and the context would help identify the song.

Olim P.M. Margaret Thatcher once wittily remarked in the words of a song, "Maybe Maggie will. Maybe Maggie won't."

Does anyone know the song and its history?
Does anyone know the words?

Thank you in anticipation.
