Thatcher wife and children fly to Texas 'for school term'

The family of Sir Mark Thatcher flew into, and out of, Britain this morning, en route to the United States where his children are expected to go to school.

Lady Diane Thatcher, her son Michael, 15, and daughter Amanda, 11, left Sir Mark, who is under house arrest in South Africa accused of bankrolling an alleged coup in oil-rich Equatorial Guinea. The family's flight from Cape Town landed at Heathrow at 6.10am and they emerged into the arrivals hall surrounded by police and airport staff around an hour and 20 minutes later.Wearing sunglasses, Lady Thatcher refused to comment on why she had left South Africa.

Lord Bell, a family spokesman, said that she had travelled straight from Heathrow to Gatwick for a connecting flight to Dallas.He added: "She's taking the children to the USA. The children are going to school there but then she will be going back to South Africa."

1. Worst schools in America
Private or public. Why on earth would anyone who could conceivably attend school anywhere, pick TEXAS?

5. Maybe Lady Thatcher is in on the scheme as well and
she is standing by her man, and their family friends in the Republican Party have promised to look after their children. :shrug:
