Wtf, Maggie?
2009. 20 years after the biggest political event of my life.
Remember when the Berlin Wall came down? Remember how pushing the Soviets for German reunification was one of the top planks of the 1980s Reagan-Thatcher Cold War policy axis?
Remember how happy everyone was when the impossible happened and the Wall fell?
Yeah now it turns out - not so much actually, at least if you were that bastion of freedom and democracy, Margaret Thatcher.
"The Prime Minister's view is... we do not want to wake up one morning and find that events have moved entirely beyond our control and that German reunification is to all intents and purposes on us"
Wtf, Maggie. Just wtf.
