Hilary Mantel wrote a story imagining the death of Margaret Thatcher. Predictably, people went nuts.
Luckily The Daily Mail was on hand to remind us all of the real values of Britain. The newspaper described how Mantel’s story has “provoked fury across [the] political spectrum”, more so, we can imagine, than any debate about the Middle East or say, last week’s Scottish Referendum. It innocently wondered how Mantel could “concoct so nasty and dangerous a fantasy”, with no regard to its own journalistic concoctions, and helpfully provided a video of “Classic speeches of Margaret Thatcher’s political career” to bring us back to what really mattered.
