5. Yeah well Meryl Streep playing Thatcher in a film is one of the Torygraph's pet topics

Dec 2011

The Daily Telegraph being a paper that regards Margret Thatcher as something of a saint to be venerated without question.

The main subject that the Telegraph discusses at length all the sodding time is the Euro crisis. Some of their writers such as Dan Hannan are totally useless on this subject and to be avoided due to their inability to understand that schadenfraude is not a policy, nor is it a substitute for policy.

Others such as Jeremy Warner and even Ambrose Evans-Pritchard (never thought I'd say that) on the other hand are actually quite good on that subject.
