Ernest Owusu says encounter with Iron Lady on TV in 1980 gave him confidence to ascend class ladder
A man who questioned Margaret Thatcher on television as a child has described how the encounter helped him escape his deprived background, despite his opposition to her policies.
Ernest Owusu was 13 in 1980 when he was given the opportunity to appear in the audience of the BBC show In the Limelight, presented by Lesley Judd, and asked Thatcher how she felt about the Russians calling her the Iron Lady.
