I didn't think much of the BBC documentary about Thatcher last night....

With that dippy Andrew Marr. I can't take him seriously. Wouldn't it have been better to hold on and get someone like Simon Schama to do it properly. Whether you her like or not, it is a very important and fascinating part of our recent political and social history. It deserved a bit more of a considered, retrospective than that hacked out, hastily edited and scripted pile of toss which was extremely Tory biased.

 

I didn't see it but I'm guessing it was recorded a while back as Andrew Marr is still recovering from a stroke he suffered in January.

 

You wouldn't think much of The Sun today either. With the pullout and normal pages it around 30 pages praising Thatcher with biased one sided reporting.

 

I found this interesting reading from the Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2013/apr/08/margaret-thatcher-death-orgreave-coal-miners

 

It was poor, and very biased. As was the ITV version.
I expected as much.

 

sky news was the same,Adam Boulton was enough to make you throw up,,,you can tell he works for Murdoch.
