On August 20, 1976, the Grunwick Strike began. This strike showed the potential of the British trade union movement to embrace immigrant workers for the first time, but its defeat.
I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of The Enemy Within (in Britain it is going by Still the Enemy Within). This is a powerful documentary on how.
I can see why the Times published this Thatcher hagiography--she is a pundit's wet dream. This version of Thatcher has everything Beltway pundits love--Strong leadership! Doing things! Reinforcing the privileges.
