"But it just shows how completely militant trade unionists have lost the argument that they should resort to such desperate and cowardly tactics. 

"Margaret Thatcher's legacy will live on long after they have been consigned to the dustbin of history."

Eighty-six year old Grantham-born Baroness Thatcher has been in declining health in recent years and has withdrawn from public life.
