    Love her or hate her - and most people do either love or hate when MT was involved, she passes away in her sleep

    She changed the direction of British politics are ever!

    Before Thatcher Britain was a Country in decline, after Thatcher, Britain was richer & more confident than it had been before.

    At the time she was PM I was just in my teens & early 20s and was not a fan. As an older & I think wiser man with a better understanding Politics I now think on balance she served us well.

    I haven't had time to watch the news yet, but I'm sure that the outpouring of undiluted hate, rage, ecstasy and jubilance that we will now witness from teen commie, Scots, Welsh and the chattering classes up and down the land will be something to behold. Some will at first hold back their joy (not as a sign of respect mind), but in the end their emotions will get the better of them. To them Thatcher was the antichrist; Stalin and Mao rolled into one. Watch and learn from the reactions of people of certain political persuasions over the coming days and note that it is a good indicator of the state of their souls and therefore what they stand for as people and politically when all the insincere posturing is stripped away.
