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.

I believe this with every fiber of my being.
In fact, it's a shade better than mere belief. Per every observation I've made over the last 24 months or so, it appears that she will be our next president.
And that gives me great comfort.
My, my. Palin is getting some very good advice. I’d love to know from whom, because this is a very astute move. It’s quite a contrast to the hapless fumbling the McCain campaign showed us. And yes, if she should happen to drop into Tel Aviv every liberal media parrot from here to Uzbekistan would burst a blood vessel. That poor, silly, brainless housewife is playing those suckers like a cheap violin and I think it’s the funniest stuff I’ve seen since Joe Biden’s last policy speech.
Heads would explode if Bebe met her plane. LOL Well, I can dream... Between “shaming” Obama into acting tough about the Oil Spill, meeting Lady Thatcher and (Please God) going to Israel, dumb little Sarah of Wasila would have a Trifecta.
I wonder if McGinnis will follow her on her trip to England?
Oh barf. She was senator for six years to what? 2 years as Governor for Sarah. Get a grip. I know you lust over Sarah but please let’s not lie.
These people aren’t stupid.
Even as nations have criticized American “imperialism,” it can be said without a doubt that our allies yearn for American strength, light, and leadership, and would welcome having an adult in the house again.
Pray for the health, safety, and well-being of Sarah Palin and her family.
That’s amazing. A few good words from Thatcher can’t be spun away by the Media. And can you imagine if the Brits warm to her? The Media would either go bonkers or put a total news black-out on her trip.
GO SARAH!!
Yes! Palin already sounds like Thatcher at times, how about all the time?
An English friend once referred to Thatcher as the “Iron Lady”- perhaps we’ll get to see her meet another-!
see my tagline....
sorry I think Ronald Reagan would wipe the floor in a debate with Palin. And he wouldn’t need to resort to childish slogans like “lamestream” media.
In fairness, didn’t Reagan refer to Col. Kadahfy as “flakey”?
Interesting timing, given the tension between the Brits and zero. What a masterful stroke it would be for Netanyahu to meet with her at the same time!
If that happens, then Baroness Thatcher should practice her famous handbagging technique. It would not be inappropriate to use the bust of Churchill in place of a handbag.
She may be getting good advice, but her instincts alone are unmatched out there.
She visited David Cameron at 10 Downing last week and looked better than I expected, though.
She could learn a lot from Lady Thatcher.
