The unmentionable Margaret Thatcher (update)

Further to my post yesterday pointing out Harriet Harman's department's seeming inability to even use the name Margaret Thatcher, I see on the BBC that:
"Harriet Harman's officials have been forced to change a government fact sheet celebrating "women in power" which did not name Margaret Thatcher.

...

Am Equalities Office spokesman said: "We have acknowledged the oversight and have taken steps to amend it."

He said Lady Thatcher's name would be added to the document, one of a number of fact sheets produced by officials in Ms Harman's Government Equalities Office celebrating the achievements of women and ethnic minorities.

Asked whether the "Women in Power: Milestones" list, which is on the Equalities Office website, was an example of party political bias in a government document, he said: "There really isn't much more to say about this.""
That's the trouble with blinkered left-wingers; no class or sense of fairness.
