I am so glad that someone has made a film about this formidable female icon of British history. I am even more thrilled that they found an American actress to play her and that it will hit general release before the real life Baroness pops her clogs. Perhaps, in a moment of clarity, Baroness Thatcher will see the film and, looking past the rosy glow of hollywood, feel sorry for those who suffered under her reign.
The Poll Tax riots
Privatisation
The Miners Strike
The Falklands
To name but a few of the ecomonic and political horrors we, as a nation, suffered under Maggie Thatcher. A iconic figure of hate in her conservative blue suit, stepping on the working classes in her patent two inch heel. Many will not mourn this woman when she shuffles off her mortal coil, I would say there may be a queue of people outside the cenotaph with their dancing shoes on waiting for the moment this woman is put in the ground.
Let's hope the film does well anough to allow the profits to pay for the lavish state funeral to be awarded this beacon of misery. But, no, it is perhaps a fitting end to have that bill fall at the feet of the tax payer. Her final insult to the working class.
