Can you even imagine what Iron Maggie Thatcher would have responded had they suggested this during her tenure?

Heh! Now that would be a good show.

Seems like the U.N. exists merely to force us all to listen to people who would otherwise be wisely ignored.

You wanna tell Britain what to do? March in, take over, and have at it. Until then, pound sand.

On that subject though don't forget there was little love lost between the Queen and Maggie they did not get along. Having said that I am sure that Maggie would have been one of the first to criticize the interference of the UN in our domestic affairs.

I always remember the ultimate snub Maggie gave Royalty when she took the victory salute after the Falklands because of course it should have been the Queen as the PM does not have any ceremonial role with our armed forces. It is the crown that our troops swear allegiance to of course in practice it is the government of the day that determines their international role.
