The Conservative party have unveiled a full 10 minute video about the recently deceased former prime minister Margaret Thatcher, who David Cameron describes as “our greatest peacetime Prime Minister” and a woman with a “lion hart”.
The video has received an understandably mixed reception, with those who have praise for Thatcher describing it variously as “excellent” or “stunning”.
An excellent video tribute: http://t.co/aj46lCh8Tu via @GuidoFawkes #Thatcher

Excellent video by @Conservatives on Baroness Thatcher. Good pre-conference material! http://t.co/l5AWkS6bcR

Those who do not remember Thatcher in such a positive light were less impressed, with one Labour counsellor saying that the video shows that the Tories are still the same old party
Tories open their conference with video of Thatcher. So that's what Cameron means when he says "new vision" & "modern conservatism" #cpc13
