Rescripting Thatcher ... .

Margaret Thatcher’s friends ‘insulted’ by Streep's portrayal
          
“insulting” and “insufferable.”
“I didn’t come here to see a film about granny going mad.”



“ Hey, if Thatcher didn't want Hollywood lying about her, she shouldn't have taken so many political stances they didn't like. Well, Britain is definitely better off since she left office. Right, London?  - Jim Treacher
 ”

Another reason to love Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson—  On one of his marathon driving tours ['Heathrow to Oslo' race] he kept himself stimulated and awake by listening to the collected speeches of Margaret Thatcher.

Mrs. and I had the great good fortune to see Mrs. Thatcher speak on two occasions. Both times, she took the podium with two things: a pair of reading glasses, and a 3x5 card. She would put on her glasses, refer to the card for her first subject, remove her glasses, and speak calmly and thouroughly (English spelling intended there) for 5 or 10 minutes, put her glasses back on and look for the next subject, and so on. Her intelligence and dignity were both obvious and stunning, and I would stand in line for hours for the opportunity to hear her again. Comandante Zero isn't fit to lick the bottoms of her shoes when it comes to either public speaking or competence, and Jim Treacher, whoever-the-heck that spineless ass-hat is, isn't even fit to occupy the same planet.

The Sunday night (on C-Span) House of Commmons question hour was something I never missed during her "reign." Rapier wit and never bested - ever. I loved her to pieces - as a leader and statesman. I envy your experience, and what a great anecdote. Now kneel while I Knight you Sir H the Comet.

Did I miss something, or isn't Treacher's comment dripping with sarcasm?
