Margaret Thatcher's View
Carol Thatcher wrote in her book Below the Parapet that her parents, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her husband Denis used to joke that CHOGM stood for "Coons holidaying on government money". A Thatcher aide, in the 1994 PBS video, "The Windsors: A Royal Family," claimed that she privately used to say that CHOGM stood for Compulsory Handouts to Greedy Mendicants.
