In praise of - Maggie Thatcher's suits.

Let us be clear, as politicians say before they're about to dissemble.

I would never wear one of Maggie Thatcher's suits. I never wore her policies, so her habiliments have little chance of making it with moi.

However, her suits are now period pieces and seen uninhabited, as it were, seem to bring back the dire emptiness of the 1970s, when the Iron Lady first clanked her way to political power.
