It's 30 years since Margaret Thatcher became the first woman prime minister of Britain. This exhibition at The Cartoon Museum remembers here eleven year tenure through the political cartoons of Steve Bell, Gerald Scarfe, Trog and other illustrators who were making their opinions clear during the eighties. Maggie! Maggie! Maggie! - even the title of the show is suggestive of the love-hate relationship the country still has with its former leader. Regardless of which side you come down in support of, these satirical pictures chosen by Lord Kenneth Baker of Dorking and Steve Bell of the Guardian prompt political nostalgia. Remember the Falklands War, the Poll Tax riots... those power suits and mottos like, "the lady's not for turning". We get misty eyed at the thought...
