As you’ve no doubt deduced from the cover image on the left-hand side of this page, the
latest Spectator is out today — and it’s a soaraway double issue for Easter. By way of peddling it to CoffeeHousers (buy it here, etc.), I thought I’d mention one article among many. It’s a celebratory list of some of the country’s
“most inspiring and influential over-80s,” and it includes tributes to them from some rather notable under-80-year-olds. So we have Matt Ridley on David Attenborough, Alex Salmond on Sean
Connery, Ian Rankin on P.D James, and plenty more besides.
Anyway, there are two entries that CoffeeHousers might care to see in particular, so I’ve pasted them below: David Cameron on Margaret Thatcher, and Nick Clegg on Shirley Williams. Here they are:
Margaret Thatcher
by David Cameron
As each year passes, Lady Thatcher’s achievements appear, if possible, even greater.
