  • 2.40 "they only learnt of the bombing when the planes arrived home" Wake up! This is security we are talking about. If she had told the Cabinet before the raid, it would have been leaked to The Guardian by the morning and the Libyans would have their missiles ready. Again, armchair critics with no appreciation of the nature of warfare.

  • @a1mdwpr Indeed. Although they would demand that they take a kilometre if given a centimetre.

  • The thing about Thatcher is - she never tried to present a persona to the world that was necessarily charismatic or glamourous a la Blair or Obama. She didn't bullshit around. Those are personal aspects about the woman that I admire.

  • *arming IRA

  • Of course, this 'unbiased' programme does not mention that the bombing of Lybia only took place after Gadaffi bombed a discotheque in Berlin. As for the British interests, Gadaffi was also actively arming.

  • Libya wasn't the right time to be bombed during the Reagan/Thatcher years.

  • Libya wasn't the right time to be bombed during teh Reagan/Thatcher years.

  • Give those Europeans an inch and they will gladly grab a mile!

  • thatcher i love you

    you should have helped us free from the communist invasion

  • Absolutely fascinating documentary. Thatcher herself has a great flair for the dramatic. I'm sure she is secretly thrilled that Meryl Streep is to play her in a biopic.
