David Cameron’s three-day tour to drum up support in the Midlands, the Northwest and Cornwall for this week’s local elections was cancelled. Instead, he recalled parliament and announced Lady Thatcher would be having a blockbuster funeral, so all arrangements, for everything, were up in the air. Texts pinged from his special adviser: it’s all on, then it’s all off. Finally, I’m told to meet our dear leader at 8.55am the next morning at St Pancras, to catch the train to Derby. At the station, it’s not hard to spot the PM’s carriage; it’s the only one flanked by a copper and a police dog. Huffing, I arrive with only minutes to spare; the London Tube was appallingly crowded and I missed three trains before I could get on. “Blame Boris,” quips Cameron as he greets me. The long shadows of Boris and the Baroness loom large over our encounter. The truth is that compared to either, our prime minister comes a ‘i have problems with the thatcher legacy’ With Thatcher’s shadow receding and that of Boris looming, the prime minister is on the ropes. The coalition is floundering, yet David Cameron still exudes supreme self-confidence at the dispatch box — and manages to take the kids swimming.

  • Thatcherism and Women: After Seven Years
    THATCHERISM AND WOMEN: AFTER SEVEN YEARS Elizabeth Wilson In 1979 the Conservative Party won the British general election led by a woman-paradoxically, after ten years of leftwing feminist activism, it was the Tories that gave the British their first woman Prime Minister. And the most paradoxical aspect of all has been that Margaret Thatcher, the 'exceptional woman' par excellence, has done nothing to advance the cause of women, indeed during her period of office the quality of life for the majority of women in this country has deteriorated. This has been as a direct result of the tremendous class attack launched by the Conservative government against working people, both women and men. The initial reaction of the British left, and this included many feminists, was on the one hand disbelief that the British people could have voted such a reactionary government into power, and on the other the rapid construction of an explanation for this event in terms of an ideology of t hatcher ism'.' The development of this concept rested on a conviction that disillusionment with socialism and progress had willed the whole populace to the Right. Bob ~esso~~and others have recently mounted an extensive and measured critique of the 'Thatcherism' thesis, particularly as it has been developed in the work of Stuart Hall and in a series of articles published in Marxism Today. Jessop and his co-authors argue, for example, that Stuart Hall's notion of 'authoritarian populism', upon which 'Thatcherism' is based, is ambiguous and incoherent. They suggest that the Left has too readily accepted the Right's own assessment of itself and its decisive ideological break with the past.

  • Thatcher and Thatcherism: New Critical Perspectives
    CALL FOR PAPERS THATCHER AND THATCHERISM: NEW CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES Durham University Thursday 19th & Friday 20th January 2017 Keynote Speakers: Dr Martin Farr (Newcastle University) and Sam Bowman (Adam Smith Institute) Despite her death in 2013, Margaret Thatcher featured heavily in recent mainstream print and broadcast media coverage of the EU referendum debate. Archival footage of her campaigning in the 1975 referendum, negotiating with the European Community, and her infamous Bruges Speech were all included in various news programmes and documentaries on Europe. Following the referendum, an article in the Guardian claimed that Brexit marked the end of Thatcherism. By contrast, another article (in the same paper) hailed Brexit as the moment of Thatcherism’s resurgence. Following Theresa May’s move to Downing Street, multiple comparisons were made between Britain’s first female Prime Minister and its second, with Thatcher positioned as the original female leader. This is not uncommon: as Dr Farr will demonstrate in his keynote talk, female politicians across the world are compared to Thatcher to underline their conviction and leadership capability. It is almost 40 years since she became Prime Minister, but Margaret Thatcher remains prominent in both domestic and international politics. This conference invites researchers from across academic disciplines to share new critical perspectives on Thatcher, Thatcherism and the Conservative Party under her leadership. Please submit abstracts of 250-300 words (for papers lasting 20 minutes)
