And still in the dimension of Lady Megalomaniacs of the Far Right, both Hipspinster and Wendy sent me links to the story of how Dr. Who attempted a Time Lord overthrow of Margaret Thatcher.
“She battled the Argentine army abroad and the unions at home. But Margaret Thatcher never knew she was also under attack from outer space. Left-wing scriptwriters hired by the BBC during the 1980s tried to inspire a 'Tardis revolution' by using Doctor Who as propaganda to undermine the Tory prime minister. In one serial they caricatured her as a vicious and egotistical alien ruler who banned outward displays of unhappiness among her downtrodden people and used a secret police to oppress dissidents. Former actors and writers on the show admitted yesterday that there was also thinly veiled support for the miners' strike and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament." (Click here for the rest of the story, and click here for another version from the shocked Brit mainstream.)

Thatcher, the mention of that name still makes my blood boil. Thatcher the culture killer, you are not missed, not even a little bit.
