M Thatcher wasn't a law graduate. She studied science at Oxford.

Here's something else we didn't know when we were young. Her grandmother was catherine Sullivan from kenmare, co. Kerry. Now how did we not know that?

Like Mr b and his granny from rossnowlagh.
More to the point, where were the comedians? Hours of fun with Mrs t being haunted by the ghost of her dead irish granny, surely.

I have no problem with MP/MLA salaries but what really makes me mad are all the fringe benefits not available to the average worker - travelling expenses to their place of work, subsidised dining facilities, an over- generous ' 'expenses' system, 'special advisors' unelected and not subjected to a proper selection process, family members shamelessly helped aboard the gravy train... I could go on but my blood pressure couldn't take it!
