A statue of Ronald Reagan being unveiled with a quote from Margaret Thatcher – the BBC’s worst nightmare. BBC covers this on BBC1 by getting on a few “experts” to  complain about how awful many statues are around London – the 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square being highlighted as an example of the “right” sort of art. Over on Today, they interviewed Geoffrey Howe about Reagan and Thatcher (Howe being the man who helped knife Thatcher in the back all those years ago, lest we forget). Praise for Reagan from the BBC comes between gritted teeth and those of us who remember the Reagan years will recall the unrelenting BBC hostility towards this truly great American hero.
