Even the one Hollywood film about her life, “The Iron Lady” starring Meryl Streep as Thatcher in 2011, chose to center on her last years when she suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, rather than to focus primarily on her unmatched achievements as a woman who broke a glass ceiling American politicians have yet to shatter, as well as become the longest-serving prime minister in modern British history.

Indeed. It wass a travesty.

It was hardly a surprise that Morgan’s show would follow this pattern by portraying Thatcher as a rigid ideologue, whose lack of empathy for the suffering of the British people would alienate her from the queen.

If conservatives are so mean and hard-hearted, how do the lefties think they get elected?!

I thought it was an OK movie. A bit silly to use her aged years as the foundation for memories, but mostly I’d like to see more about her careers. There wasn’t actually that much to really know all she did.

And I wonder how much of that rioting was really going on. I know there was some, but the film made it out that police were constantly beating on MPPs who were just upset they couldn’t get money for nothing.
