In his defence, whilst he did bang on about what a fantastic woman she was & leave you in no doubt as to his political affiliations, he did also say that regardless of which party they represented then any former PM who dies should be given a minutes silence out of respect of their service to the country.
Not saying I agree with pretty much anything he said in that interview, nor would I observe a minutes silence but when he qualifies his belief with the above it puts it into a slightly different context
