Oooh matron!

9pm BBC2

I'm not into these dramatised reconstructions, but have you seen the programme Michael Portillo made about her, Jonathan?

It's on the i-Player and is very interesting

I wasn't that impressed by the show - a trifle one dimensional and full of caricatures.

I found Maggie to be one of the truly great half dozen personalities of the last century.

As I've said, I disagreed with 90% of her policies but looking back, had she still been Prime Minister when the false allegations kicked in against me, I'm 100% sure she would have stepped in and halted the fiasco.

Blair was charming and glossy - and allowed the country to decline into the moral hell hole it now inhabits.

do watch the Portillo programme JK, I think you'll like it (I presume the prog you were referring to in your last post was about the dramatisation).

I do get what you say about her. I am personally hostile to very many of the policies that she introduced but can see what you mean about her as a personality and leader.

The Portillo programme was praising and criticising in equal measure (in my opinion).
