I was living in Europe during the Falklands war and listened every day to the BBC news. They were trying their best to give away the war plans to the enemy.
Like most of the govt bureaucrats..they hated Thatcher.
But..I for one toured a lot of Brit manufacturers before Thatcher and witnessed a lot of the recovery of the UK.
May God look after her and may God give us another leader like her.
Most of the hatred against Margaret Thatcher comes from Marxists like Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein and the IRA. The BBC must be a haven for these types since the old Soviet Union agents worked hard to get them there to control the media.
Labor - wherever they are - are so sick they should be in internment camps. All of them. Quarantined from human beings.
Those haters can all GTH and eventually they surely shall.
LOL.
If you look at the red flags and signs of those celebrating Thatcher’s death, you will see that they are from the Communist Party of Britain and the Socialist Workers Party or its successor.
A handful of reds get all the attention without the British media telling the truth about who the protesters really are.
Yes, the BBC was infiltrated by the Soviets, a story up to be told.
Thank the late Lord James Goldsmith (an acquaintance from many years ago), for funding the fight against the KGB and its Greek communist supporters in the fight for freedom of the press by Paul Anastasio. No other British media magnate did anything like that.
I actually thpight coverage on the day of her death was quite far and complimentary from the BBC, maybe I have missed something.
p.s. one of my liberal Brit in-laws said he was opposed to everything she stood for, but had more respect for her than any other PM because she stood behind her positions.
I too have heard much of the BBC coverage (radio,not TV) over the last few days, including several lengthy special documentaries about her which have replaced scheduled programmes. I have to say this article protests too much - the coverage has not only been copious but very fair. Yes, her divisiveness and the mixture of awe, admiration and hatred she inspired among Britons has been covered: but those are historical facts which it would be pointless to airbrush out. At the same time there have been many, many tributes to her in live interviews with former colleagues and friends (including quite a few from the U.S.) which have been unstinting in her praise, together with accurate academic assessments of her historical importance. Obviously the BBC has been preparing for this for some time - as have all the other media = and on the whole they’ve done a thorough and fair job.
Only those who feel entitled to the fruits of someone else’s labor - and are denied - are capable of such hatred.
