On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, don't forget that she called Osama bin Laden a freedom fighter, Nelson Mandela a terrorist, General Pinochet a friend. And Jimmy Savile 'Sir'.

@BBCradio3 What's all this portentous rumbling organ twaddle that gets played at choral evensong, and for all I know on other church occasions?
