1982: Mark Thatcher missing in Sahara The British Prime Minister's son has been reported missing in the Sahara desert while taking part in an international motor race. Mark Thatcher, his co-driver and mechanic were last seen two days ago near the Mali-Algerian border. They were competing in the Paris-Dakar rally. Margaret Thatcher was said to be "very upset and very distressed". The prime minister, though under obvious strain, is carrying out her appointments as normal. news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/january/12/newsid_2523000/2523841.stm

Here's my contribution. Wouldn't like to have been caught up in it, and even when we go to Barnsley, Doncaster, Sheffield now you see kids chanting 'Scab'. The scars run deep when money and politics split communities. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_miners'_strike_(1984-1985)

Go on - how long 'til this reaches something to the effect of, "So clearly life under the Tories was horrible, Blair is godlike for rescuing us"?
