Mrs Thatcher's death. The reaction

An interesting feature has been the discrepancy between the reaction of the Tory establishment and its lackeys - including of course the right wing press - and public opinion. The papers have got quite hysterical at yet another example of tasteless celebration of her death while most are either not bothered or are a little amused. The powers that be have made her death into a political occasion. They misjudged the reaction.
