I wonder what Churchill did during the Second World War? :-)

What a far cry from OUR current Commander-in-Chief, who can’t decide if he should give the troops the reinforcements they need to win the war. Ah, we need a Maggie...

We would sit in the flat listening to the BBC....

Interesting that she considered the BBC to be a reliable source.... perhaps she was listening to see what misinformation was being broadcasted so that she could immediately counter it.

Margaret Thatcher stayed up all night in her Downing Street flat throughout the three months of the Falklands War and never changed into her bedclothes, it has been revealed.

That was a very, very high risk undertaking and she quite understandably would have been on edge.

'We would sit in the flat listening to the BBC World Service for news of the task force."

That means she wasn't directly involved in micromanaging things like Jimmy Carter was in Operation Eagle Claw (the Iran hostage rescue fiasco). Maybe that's why the UK won, and Eagle Claw was a disaster.

Could we have the “clone” of the “Iron Lady” right here in our own Country,

I say this because I see shades of Mrs. Thacher in our own Mrs. Palin!
