Controversial US politician Sarah Palin could soon be on her way to Britain to boost her hopes of challenging Barack Obama in the 2012 US presidential election.
Her representatives approached Margaret Thatcher to ask for a meeting as part of a bid to enhance her claim to be the heir to Ronald Reagan and prepare to challenge Mr Obama.
And Lady Thatcher has agreed to see Mrs Palin, who stood as the Republican vice-presidential candidate in 2008. A spokesman said: We had an informal approach asking if Lady Thatcher would meet Mrs Palin if she comes to Britain and we said yes.

Any trip by Mrs Palin to Britain could cause potential problems for David Cameron.
Embarrassingly, Mrs Palins team have not contacted No. 10 so far.
One individual involved in the talks about the visit said: Palins people havent said anything about meeting Cameron. Their main interest is getting a picture of her with Lady Thatcher. Im not sure they know who David Cameron is.
It would also pose a delicate diplomatic protocol dilemma for the Prime Minister, who is trying to defuse an acrimonious confrontation with Mr Obama over the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Outspoken Mrs Palin has launched a series of savage personal attacks on the US President.
Mr Cameron would have to decide whether to pose for photographs with her on the steps of No 10, invite her in through the back door or meet her elsewhere more discreetly.

Sarah Palin is not the heir apparent to Ronald Reagan. Why do so many people here at FR keep saying that?
You have a problem with that?
I really like the idea of Sarah and Maggie Thatcher having a tea party...looking forward to the photos!
I remember that article by Michael Reagan. I want to have what he was drinking when he wrote it.
G.Bush went to India for some event there last year, they (the Indian Prime Minister, and other Indian officials)were so glad to see him, and invited him to dinner; but the Obama administration acted so jealous because Bush was so well received!
They were going to have the P.M. come for a state dinner anyway, but they were so upset that G. Bush was invited down before the state dinner! They’d been so busy saying he was so awful, and so hated in the world, and that embarrassed them! Sheesh, they behaved like Cinderella’s stepsisters!
When confronted with who was the first to say it (Reagan's son), you then accuse him of being drunk.
You know, that kind of logic (?) used to be laughed at.
Yeah ;-)
Mike Reagan is a very nice guy, and not very bright.
Oops. Sorry. I forgot that he wrote that back when a lot of us, including me, thought that she was the real thing.
” Oops. Sorry. I forgot that he wrote that back when a lot of us, including me, thought that she was the real thing.”
That was quite a while ago.
Watch how they meet. It won’t be like Michelle throwing an arm around the Queen.
There will be a gracious handshake and then more between the two.
It will be a moment for history.
That sentenced needs to be changed to reflect some reality. Here:
I forgot that he wrote that back when a lot few of us, including especially me, thought that she was the real thing.
Much better.
I think it was the Bildebergers and the Illuminati, actually......
Sorry - she is, and if that's not apparent to you, then there's nothing anyone can say to you that will make it any clearer.
Why do so many people here at FR keep saying that?
Freepers tend to point out the obvious, because for much of the human race, it's not. Call it a quirk we have.
Or maybe they do know who he is. Which is why they haven't contacted him.
I've been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we'd never see his like again because he was one of a kind. I was wrong! Wednesday night I watched the Republican National Convention on television and there, before my very eyes, I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he's a she.
And what a she! This was Ronald Reagan at his best -- the same Ronald Reagan who made the address known now solely as "The Speech," which during the Goldwater campaign set the tone and the agenda for the rebirth of the traditional conservative movement that later sent him to the White House for eight years and revived the moribund GOP.
Welcome back, Dad, even if you're wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.
