Talking about Margaret Thatcher reminds me of one of my favorite political jokes, which concerns Lady Thatcher. As PM she was having a late staff meeting and the group decided to break for supper at a nearby restaurant.
The waiter asked her what she would have from the menu, she said "I'll have the roast beef."
The waiter replied "Very good, ma'am. And the vegetables?"
Her dry response, "They'll have the roast beef too."
