Angelina set for red carpet appearance
Set to attend premiere on the arm of Brad this weekend


Her main domestic achievement was to bring the power-hungry union bosses to heel and to break the stranglehold of the public sector unions.? The downside was a nation hopelessly divided between rich and poor, between North and South, the destruction of cabinet government, the politicisation and demoralisation of the civil service and the general cheapening of standards in public life.? Her uncritical embrace of theoretical monetarism and free-market capitalism provided the seed-bed for unregulated capitalism, the property bubble and the banking crisis of later decades.
In her dealings with Ireland and especially the Northern troubles, Margaret Thatcher is probably best remembered for the 1985 Anglo-Irish Agreement – an historic achievement into which she stumbled more in ignorance than anything else.? Indeed it might well be argued that ignorance of the issues and insensitivity to both the nexus of historical relationships and the personalities currently involved were the most characteristic features of her Irish policies.
Early in her premiership,monster headphones, I was advised by a senior Tory to remember that “Margaret was a Unionist” – that she believed in the Union and was not going to preside over its dissolution or dilution, whether in Scotland or Ulster.? That did not necessarily make her a supporter of the Ulster Unionists whom she treated with the same lofty contempt as everyone else.
She will no doubt be pilloried as the Iron Lady of the H-Blocks and the Hunger Strikes – a caricature which fits her own self-projection as TINA  but more recently released papers and memoirs show that there was more negotiation going on behind the scenes and in back-channels than either side was prepared to admit to,cheap beats by dre, and a greater willingness in Thatcher, if not to compromise, at least to modify her intransigence than has generally been conceded.
It should not be forgotten that two of her closest advisers and friends, Airey Neave and Ian Gow, were murdered by the IRA, and that she and half her cabinet narrowly escaped obliteration in the Brighton Hotel bomb.? It is perhaps not surprising that she saw Northern Ireland mainly in terms of security and anti-terrorism.
It was certainly as a deal on security? that she was induced to sign-up to the Anglo-Irish Agreement, believing that it would improve cross-border co-operation on security and intelligence, and more vigorous Irish government and garda action against the IRA.? Central to the agreement was the relationship between Robert Armstrong,beats by dre, her Cabinet Secretary and Dermot Nally, his Irish counterpart.? I remember being told by a Junior Minister that “the sherpas are in Dublin” and that Robert Armstrong was only waiting for an opportunity to get his draft past Margaret before Enoch Powell got to her.? Critical too was the measured way in which Garrett Fitzgerald responded to Thatcher’s congenital rudeness,beats headphones, and her relationship with Regan .? She expressed her subsequent disappointment about the lack of a security dividend, as she saw it, and confessed to a friend that “the Americans made me do it”.

It is ironic to recall that the purpose of the Anglo-Irish Agreement was to sustain the flagging SDLP and to stem the political progress of Sinn Fein post the Hunger Strikes,dr dre headphones, and that the mass resignation of Unionist MPs opened the door to the election of Sinn Fein, and unintentionally paved the way for their emergence as a political force.
In a perverse way, she sent to Northern Ireland probably the most talented team of Direct Rule ministers, using it as a gulag for those she did not like but could not fire,cheap beats by dre Tony Abbott's Budget reply give, to the extent that Stormont was described by one of them? as “the Avignon of the Wets” – James Prion, Chris Patten, Nick Scott, Grey Gowrie and the irrepressible Richard Needham, whose mutinous cry, plucked from the air by a Provo bug “Will she never go?” has finally been answered.
