A Tory MP, apparently with nothing else better to do, has continued to criticise the film about Margaret Thatcher because it shows the truth. Rob Wilson. MP for East Reading, has said the film shows her today as "old, lonely, fargile and suffering from dementia." "This left me wondering about the humanity of the film makers," he added without a trace of irony. We asked our political editor for his view; "Margaret Thatcher was always a mad old bat who seemed determined to inflict her crazy ideas on the world no matter what the cost to others even when she was ostensibly sane. Rob Wilson might wonder about the "humanity" of the film makers, but seems less inclined to wonder about this terrible woman's complete inhumanity throughout her calamitous life. She is old, she is lonely (which is hardly surprising considering she has no concept of society), she is fragile and she is suffering from dementia. Indeed some might say that she was always suffering from it. What this MP seems to be worried about is that the film fails to potray his hero in a more flattering light. Well tough - the film makers have no obligation to make propaganda for the Tory party since they are not the BBC."
