It seems that Sarah isn't universally admired in the UK.

The UK is insignificant and is not the universe anyway, so it doesn’t matter. People don’t GO to the UK, they end up there.

I wouldn’t put too much stock in anything the Guardian reports. They are as left-wing as you can get, and in Britain, that’s pretty far out.

Maggie is not well health wise and this point Sarah hasn’t announced. So why should see her.

Pure conjecture.

Hearsay by and unnamed “aide”.

Read the actual article and let me know if Thatcher actually said what the article title states.

My guess is that any of the possible candidates except possibly Obama for obvious reasons would have been turned down and the story is jazzed up also for obvious reasons.

There were rumors floating around a few weeks ago that Thatcher was deathly ill. Not sure how true that was, though.

From my brief experience, Thatcher isn't so universally admired in the UK either.

Per the article Thatcher didn’t say any of this in spite of the title. So called ‘allies’ of her made these statements.

Margaret Thatcher doesn't see anybody, because Margaret Thatcher is not a well woman these days.

Unnamed sources close to Thatcher who miraculously confide in the Guardian? I don't think so.

This is a ludicrous, poisonous story.

I’m not a supporter of Sarah Palin for president but I suspect this has a lot more to do with Thatcher’s health than it does Palin’s politics.

I'm sure they'd spin things to make Sarah Palin look as bad as possible.

No... the ‘dangerous lightweight’ is who we have in the WH right now.

Thatcher's representatives might be projecting their own POV a little here. Thatcher probably is in no position to counter them.

Allies of former prime minister regard darling of Tea Party movement as a frivolous figure unworthy of an audience

Not that I don't trust every word I hear from or read from the foreign version of our Libturd Media, but, where's my grain of salt?

It appears that the former prime minister has no intention of meeting the darling of the Tea Party movement. Andy McSmith reported in the Independent this morning that Palin is likely to be "thwarted" on the grounds that Thatcher, 86, rarely makes public appearances.

It would appear that the reasons go deeper than Thatcher's frail health. Her allies believe that Palin is a frivolous figure who is unworthy of an audience with the Iron Lady. This is what one ally tells me:

Lady Thatcher will not be seeing Sarah Palin. That would be belittling for Margaret. Sarah Palin is nuts.

Where in this does it state what Thatcher said?

The article claims to describe how Lady Thatcher regards Sarah Palin but it contains no evidence to support this claim.
