... was killed in March 1979 by a bomb planted beneath his car just outside the Houses of Parliament. The then little known Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) soon claimed responsibility. The widespread shock which greeted his assassination was probably nowhere more clearly felt than by Mrs Thatcher, then leader of the Conservative opposition. Neave had masterminded Thatcher's rise to power in the Conservative Party, organising her election as party leader.

... important is what they do reveal about how contemporary Britain is ruled; and the word ruled is used very deliberately. In the period covered by these diaries, Wyatt was Rupert Murdoch's fixer in London and, in particular, acted as his go-between, first with Margaret Thatcher, and later with John Major. This material is extremely interesting, providing, among other things, an insider's account of Murdoch's embrace of Tony Blair and New Labour. In a country with a more robust democratic tradition what Wyatt reveals would be a scandal, ...

... no legal force and was duly ignored.( [2]) From 1968 through to 1984 UK industrial stoppages- almost all low level and localised- ran at a high level, climaxing with Arthur Scargill and the 1984-1985 NUM strike, the defeat of which allowed Thatcher to pursue deliberate de-indust-rialisation. Following this the figures for days lost through industrial stoppages declined to almost nothing. Adopting Donovan would have avoided much of this and would never have given Thatcher the credibility that she appeared to have (to many) on the issue of ...
