The BBC are marking the 30th anniversary of Margaret Thatcher becoming Prime Minister.
I know its stating the obvious but Baroness Thatcher, or Mrs T as she was widely known, generated very strong opinions both for and against. I'm far from convinced the BBC were ever in the for camp.
It will be interesting to see the tone of the coverage, whether the intervening years have softened some people's views of her or whether the caricature of her becomes dominant.
Hopefully the season will show at least some of the events leading up to her election, as these very much explain why she did what she did and was the way she was.

Mrs T was a genius PM. What followed in the form of Major, Blair & Brown has destroyed this country.
Mrs T put the Great back into Great Britain. The trio that followed removed it again.

James, and would graphically show the parallels in a country that had a Labour Government in hoc to the unions, a country skint, etc etc etc.
