No doubt being astounded by the news that James Callaghan and Labour actively tried to sideline Margaret Thatcher from 50 year celebration of full voting rights for women is little more than false outrage because I'm a Tory sympathiser, but I have to say that it is pretty crazy what this years documents have revealed.
Some might say its just politics and actively trying to stop the most prominent female politician from taking the limelight was just electoral and nothing more. My question would have to be imagine if the tables were turned. Imagine if a Tory Government actively tried to stop a female leader of the Labour opposition from getting coverage in such a celebration.
There would be outrage and disgust I imagine, all the while conveniently forgetting that it was the Conservative Party who were in power when the 1928 Representations of the Peoples Act came along.. natch.

Makes you laugh doesn’t it that Labour have always tried to act like they are so politically correct when in reality they are just human beings who act & think like the rest of us, only they can’t admit it!
I think as the election draws closer the Tories will have to raise some high profile examples of what a NASTY bunch Labour really are & what dastardly deeds they will perform to keep in power.
If Labour want to say that “trying to stop the most prominent female politician from taking the limelight was just electoral and nothing more” then it just proves what we all knew & when it comes to keeping power, Labour can be as dark & devious as the next.
And note, too, that a civil servant was actively involved in this petty, partisan affair.
An impartial Civil Service? Never when Labour's in office.
Remember how they applauded Gordon Brown into the Treasury after '97?
