I have always thought that Mr Nicholson must have been related to Thatcher in the way he has always displayed his unconditional support for her. Time after time he has celebrated on the YEP letters page his adoration for the person responsible for selling off our service industries and starting the gradual decline of our industrial and manufacturing companies.
