Margaret Thatcher: a figure of history and legend

Rick Lowe

One of my favourite blogs – The Coffee House – posted a neat little blog about the the new feature film about Lady Margaret Thatcher. Read it here…

As Charles Moore noted in his review for The Telegraph about the film:

“One of the benign effects of the passage of time is that hatred comes to seem an irrelevant emotion. One does not feel that one has to loathe Julius Caesar for capturing Britain, or even Napoleon for threatening our shores. One is simply interested in what these great men did and what they were like. A comparable process is now benefiting Margaret Thatcher. You have to be over 40 to hate her. Young people, I find – whether instinctively pro or anti or, most commonly, not sure – find her extremely interesting.”

Watch the movie trailer below.

Enjoy.
