Actually it WAS a hatchet job from the leftist viewpoint -
It showed her as unbending, uncompromising, unwilling to give an inch conservative leader.
Which of course are all mortal sins to liberal idiots.
I on the other hand was screaming with delight. The only sad part that I saw was that we (conservatives) apparently have no current leaders that are unbending, uncompromising and unwilling to give an inch.
Sigh.
I saw her depicted as a strong woman who didn’t tolerate the fools who patronised her and did what she thought was right regardless of what the ‘consensus’ was. It did start to depict her as arrogant and out of touch towards the end, but unfortunately, that was reflected by reality IMHO, the Poll Tax was a big mistake on her part and her refusal to repeal it would have cost the Conservatives the 1992 election if she had carried on in that vein.
It happens to all statesmen who stay in power for too long, even the great ones. They begin to think they are infallible and stop listening to any advice that contradicts what they already believe.
