End of an era for Thatcher foundation
Some good news from the Guardian

Mystery surrounds the future of the Margaret Thatcher Foundation after it emerged that the British wing of the high-profile organisation set up by the former prime minister in 1991 was formally dissolved at Companies House two days before the general election.

Companies House files showed an apparent financial decline since the halcyon days of 1994
, when the foundation had assets of £1.4 million and made donations of almost £600,000 to further its goals of promoting international free trade and encouraging democracy in former communist countries. At the end of 2002, its assets were £8,816 compared with £116,531 the previous year.

A spokeswoman for Lady Thatcher would not comment on the closure of the British arm of the Thatcher Foundation but insisted it was not the end of the foundation.
