The Iron Lady goes to a stripper club?
Margaret Thatcher, the former British prime minister, has made a rare public appearance for her beloved Conservative Party — at a glitzy London lap-dancing club.
Thatcher, 79, toting her trademark handbag, turned up Sunday at Stringfellow’s for a Tory fund-raising event ahead of the May 5 general election, the Daily Telegraph and the Sun newspapers reported Tuesday.
“Margaret Thatcher has always been a heroine of mine, so I was genuinely humbled to welcome her to the club,” said mulleted clubowner Peter Stringfellow, 64, who is usually surrounded by buxom blonde twentysomethings.
“I was just in awe of the woman.”
Thatcher, known as the Iron Lady for her uncompromising right-wing politics when she was prime minister throughout the 1980s, rarely makes public appearances due to her failing health.
Some 400 Conservative supporters turned up for Sunday’s function, but it was unclear what Stringfellow’s posse of dancers did.
The Sun quoted the impresario as saying “all the girls kept their clothes on,” while the Daily Telegraph said he gave them the night off — although he added: “I got the distinct feeling she’d have loved to have seen them”.
I have no idea what to make of this. However, as a longtime supporter of the glory that was the Reagan Revolution, I may have found it strangely erotic to watch Maggie tuck a bill into a grinding g-string.
Shudder.
Then again, probably not.

Man, you can’t make this stuff up!
Uh. I am speechless. Which doesn’t happen very often. I wonder if she wore an iron chasity belt?
I was also a big fan of Reagan and our staunch friend across the sea. But this is soooo wrong on so many levels *grin*. And here I foolishly thought you tanker types were the *class act* of the Army 🙂
Hey, tankers are the class of the Army. I don’t know what the says about tankers, but it probably speaks volumes about the rest of the Army.
