Synopsis

Former Australian Salvation Army world leader General Eva Burrows, who died on 20 March, tried in vain to engage the former British PM in making the preferential option for the poor. 'Margaret Thatcher was a disappointment,' the General said. 'I felt she didn't have a deep, true feeling for the poor. I invited her to come out on the soup run indirectly and said it wouldn't be a media event, we'd go incognito, but the answer was no.'
