Default Outcry after Thatcher selected as Britain's best Prime

Quote:
A historian has caused a public outcry following his selection of Margaret Thatcher as Britain's best 20th century Prime Minister.

Winston Churchill may have been voted the public's "Greatest Briton" but Francis Beckett decided he ranks behind both Thatcher, and his second choice, Clement Attlee.
It would have been between Heath and Blair for me, for doing the most damage to Britain, thus being effective, but in a bad way.

By the way, exactly what public outcry are they talking about? They don't say what measure they used. Smells like an assumption or just made up to me, based on bias.
