Local authorities tell The Independent the railway torture chamber is just one of several cases of abuse, violence and murder they are in the process of investigating. Men routinely disappeared during Russia’s occupation. In domestic affairs, Thatcher opposed Scottish devolution ( home rule) and the creation of a Scottish Assembly. She instructed Conservative MPs to vote against the Scotland and Wales Bill in December 1976, which was successfully defeated, and then when new Bills were proposed, she supported amending the legislation to allow the English to vote in the 1979 referendum on Scottish devolution. [102] Around this time, she gave her first Commons speech as a shadow transport minister and highlighted the need for investment in British Rail. She argued: "[I]f we build bigger and better roads, they would soon be saturated with more vehicles and we would be no nearer solving the problem." [70] Thatcher made her first visit to the Soviet Union in the summer of 1969 as the Opposition transport spokeswoman, and in October, delivered a speech celebrating her ten years in Parliament. In early 1970, she told The Finchley Press that she would like to see a "reversal of the permissive society". [71] Education Secretary (1970–1974) Thatcher abolished free milk for children aged 7–11 ( pictured ) in 1971 as her predecessor had done for older children in 1968. Margaret Hilda Roberts was born on 13October 1925 in Grantham, Lincolnshire. Her parents were Alfred Roberts (1892–1970), from Northamptonshire, and Beatrice Ethel Stephenson (1888–1960), from Lincolnshire. [6] Her father's maternal grandmother, Catherine Sullivan, was born in County Kerry, Ireland. [7] This technique was used by Jean-Baptiste Carrier during the French Revolution. Men and women—usually priests and nuns—were stripped naked, bound together, and thrown down an icy lake to drown. They would be run through with swords and bayonnets when water was unavailable.

Anatoliy takes us around the Trostyanets administration building that was the Russians’ main base during their one-month occupation.One question that continued to fascinate the public about the phenomenon of a woman Prime Minister was how she got on with the Queen. The answer is that their relations were punctiliously correct, but there was little love lost on either side. As two women of very similar age – Mrs Thatcher was six months older – occupying parallel positions at the top of the social pyramid, one the head of government, the other head of state, they were bound to be in some sense rivals. Mrs Thatcher's attitude to the Queen was ambivalent. On the one hand she had an almost mystical reverence for the institution of the monarchy [...] Yet at the same time she was trying to modernise the country and sweep away many of the values and practices which the monarchy perpetuated. They are a healer and a visionary, longing to make the world a better place, and cannot rest until they have dedicated their life to some worthwhile cause. In March 1984, the National Coal Board (NCB) proposed to close 20 of the 174state-owned mines and cut 20,000jobs out of 187,000. [156] [157] [158] Two-thirds of the country's miners, led by the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) under Arthur Scargill, downed tools in protest. [156] [159] [160] However, Scargill refused to hold a ballot on the strike, [161] having previously lost three ballots on a national strike (in January and October 1982, and March 1983). [162] This led to the strike being declared illegal by the High Court of Justice. [163] [164] Thatcher became Conservative Party leader and Leader of the Opposition on 11February 1975; [90] she appointed Whitelaw as her deputy. Heath was never reconciled to Thatcher's leadership of the party. [91]

Bloody and bruised, the corpse of a man was discovered in the nearby village of Boromlya, next to a building used as a Russian base, just the day before The Independent came to the area.Thatcher refused to meet the union's demands and compared the miners' dispute to the Falklands War, declaring in a speech in 1984: "We had to fight the enemy without in the Falklands. We always have to be aware of the enemy within, which is much more difficult to fight and more dangerous to liberty." [165] Thatcher's opponents misrepresented her words as indicating contempt for the working class and have been employed in criticism of her ever since. [166]
