Friends forever.

“The alliance between Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan was one of the most enduring political friendships of the past 50 years. The former British prime minister and the decades-long relationship between the two families is the subject of a new exhibition that the Reagan Library and Museum will present starting Tuesday at its location in Simi Valley.”
If you hooligans are done having “street parties” and smashing windows in the U.K., and if you’re done tramping the dirt down in Africa, and all these other rude displays, perhaps it’s time to seek forgiveness at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library’s thrown-together salute to Margaret Thatcher, which opens today about a month’s drive from Los Angeles in exurban Simi Valley. (Thatcher loathed Reagan, too.)
