LONDON, Sept. 24 – Ukraine’s former prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, flew into London last week to meet another former Prime Minister: Baroness Margaret Thatcher, with Tymoshenko vowing to drag her country kicking and screaming away from the Russian bear and into the European fold if she returns to office after elections next weekend, according to Times Online.

“Real women don’t do U-turns,” she said after the meeting, referring to Thatcher’s famous declaration that “the lady’s not for turning.”
