Maggie Nut Cracker

Love her or hate her, Maggie will always be the Iron Lady. So why not celebrate the former PM's *ahem* spirited inflexibility with this highly amusing novelty nut cracker. Fair enough this particular lady is made of a combination of tough plastic and stainless steel, but boy, does she know how to crack nuts. Yikes!

With her trademark blue power suit and studiously coiffured hairdo, the Maggie Nut cracker is ideal for right-wing nostalgics, old school Tories and anyone who likes to see ex-prime ministers cracking walnuts between their thighs.

Jokes aside (well not really) Maggie had to deal with quite a few nuts during her tenure (list of 80s dictators removed under legal advice), so crushing a few brazils and a couple of chestnuts should be about as difficult as lambasting some hapless leftie at the dispatch box.

She won't reshape British politics, cosy up to Ronald Reagan, foolishly attempt to introduce poll tax or even privatise your pecans, but this neat little kitchen/bar essential is so striking it would be criminal to hide her in a drawer. Maggie, Maggie, Maggie! Out! Out! Out!

We reckon the Maggie Nut cracker is heading for a landslide result here at Firebox, so hurry and get voting...sorry, ordering. Your nuts will thank you for it. The final words, of course, must go to the Iron Lady - take it away Maggie: "Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there are nuts, may we pulverise them." Be afraid, be very afraid!
