Editorial comments: | D.D. refers to Jorgensen, the "Dreaded Dane", Spadolini = 'Puccini' and Lenihan "the Bartender". Thorn was evidently not in MT's good books on this occasion: he is "B.L.G.", "Bloody Little Gaston" (PLG and DLG also figure, in other notes - 'poor' and 'darling'). Lord Carrington's Private Office papers were released under FOI to the Margaret Thatcher Foundation in 2012. The originals are due for deposit in FCO files at TNA. |
