Her roasting of the mad old bat was one of the great television moments. Here it is in case you haven't seen it before

 

Agreed. One of TVs greatest moments. She spoke for a large number of people when the media wouldn't

She was wrong though. Even the Argies admitted later that the sinking was legal.

She was right. Thatcher lied to the House of Commons. She tried to bluff her way out of that in the interview but Mrs Gould was having none of it. Arguing about whether the decision was right or wrong was the Tories' was of deflecting attention from the fact that Thatcher lied.

 

Whatever people may think, it is very rare for a politician to tell a blatant lie in the Commons. Even when Blair told the Commons about Iraq'a WMD, I think he really believed it at the time. His failing was that he didn't ask enough questions of the intelligence services before making the statement, probably because he was afraid that he wouldn't like some of the answers.

Gotcha....what a classy paper the Scum is!!
