It is a myth that 'the poll tax destroyed Margaret Thatcher'. There was something much more sinister afoot."Anyway, to the extent that she did challenge any of this, Margaret Thatcher was furiously opposed by her own party - and when she began to see the danger of the EU, which she had till then supported, the Tories savagely dumped her - as they would again dump any leader who took a genuinely pro-British position on anything. The myth that she was scuppered by the 'poll tax' is just that, a myth. It was her Maastricht speech and her 'No! No! No!' to Brussels rule that brought out the assassin's knives. Her replacement, John Major , was the first New Labour Prime Minister. The policy gap between Major and Blair in 1997 was minimal.
Yes, indeed - in May 1989 the American journalist Jim Tucker reported in the 'Spotlight' newspaper that that same month's Bilderberg meeting on Spain's La Toja Island had decided that Mrs. Thatcher had to be removed from power in the light of her opposition to further European centralisation."
Well. There's a surprise!
