not what some Tories thought Dedworth..
'The ANC is a typical terrorist organisation ... Anyone who thinks it is going to run the government in South Africa is living in cloud-cuckoo land' - Margaret Thatcher, 1987
'How much longer will the Prime Minister allow herself to be kicked in the face by this black terrorist?' - Terry Dicks MP, mid-1980s
'Nelson Mandela should be shot' - Teddy Taylor MP, mid-1980s
Aye, but Joe ... *David Cameron apologised for his predecessors' misgivings when *he later met Mandela.
Arthur how can anyone else apologise for what someone else has said, that can only come from the person who originally said it, after all we don't know if Thatcher or the other Tory MP's regret saying what they did
