Margaret Thatcher’s father was a notorious paedophile
THATCHER’S FATHER LIKE JIMMY SAVILE?
‘Groper’ Alfred Roberts and his favourite daughter, who became Margaret Thatcher.
Margaret Thatcher’s father may have been like Jimmy Savile.
There are reports that Thatcher’s father sexually abused young girls.
In 1997 the magazine Punch published an article by Professor Bernard Crick featuring allegations, including one from an alleged victim, that Alfred Roberts had been involved in several sexual assaults on young women.
The article claimed that Roberts was the inspiration for a lecherous character who was a local councillor and grocer in the 1937 satire of Grantham, Rotten Borough. [12]

Alf Robert’s shop where girls were allegedly groped.
Alfred Roberts sexually abused young female assistants working in his grocer’s shop, according to the distinguished political biographer Professor Bernard Crick.
Margaret Thatcher’s dad “was a notorious toucher-up”.
The sexual assaults reportedly took place behind the counter of the shop.
“Older teachers,” Professor Crick was told by a Grantham friend, “all remembered … trying …to steer girls away from taking jobs at his shop.
“They were frightened to hint at the real reason: for he was a figure of real power in the town.”
Thatcher’s dad: mayor, preacher, groper – News – The Independent
According to Peter Hadlow, 76, who lived almost next door to Alf Roberts:
“Quite a broad spectrum of people said it. It was all over Grantham virtually…
“But he was an Alderman and so that sort of thing got hushed up. It was a question of who do you believe – a teenage girl, or Mr Roberts?”
Thatchers with Skye McAlpine, daughter of Lord McAlpine, who was the Tory Party Treasurer while Thatcher was prime Minister.
A 74-year-old woman from Grantham told the Independent on Sunday that she had been sexually abused on frequent occasions by Alderman Roberts, when she worked in his shop, aged just 15.
She said:
“He was a bad one. He came round and put his arms around me, feeling my breasts. He used to put his tongue in my mouth.
“I got quite frightened. I didn’t like it and I’d push him away. He’d say nothing and go, but then he would come back again. He used to chase other girls round the counter.”
The woman was then a chorister at the Methodist chapel where Alderman Roberts was a lay preacher.
