Having escaped jail and possible extradition to Equatorial Guinea on charges relating to the recent coup attempt, Sir Mark Thatcher faces a new challenge - entering the US.


Thatcher admits having known some of the coup plotters

The son of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has reportedly applied for a US visa that will allow him to join his wife and children.

But it may not be granted. Whoever assesses his visa application will have to consider the four-year suspended prison sentence imposed on Sir Mark under South African anti-mercenary laws.

He could become a proud member, even though, compared to Kissinger, he is nothing.

3. chip off the old block, as they say around here.....

But he ain't off the hook yet!

I expect this one to go up a gear soon.

The fate of the Riggs Bank sale to PNC is central to his fate.
