There is a lot I'd normally post here, but I'd probably end up with a ban.

Like or loathe her, she made/was a big impact in politics for right or wrong reasons. She has left this world now, so R.I.P Margaret Thatcher.

She wasn't a great lady. She was a lady who achieved success. The 2 things are very different.

Definitely, however much people might dislike her she has had a greater influence on British politics than anyone else in recent decades, RIP to her

My thoughts go out to her family.

The tributes are gonna be interesting. The programming on TV will be too. Obviously, this is a tragedy but the influence she had on this country is not appreciated by a great many people.

I have say I do not think she was a great lady, I agree she was a successful Prime Minister but her actions were questionable during the Falklands War when she ordered the strike on the General Belgrano which was leaving the theatre of operations at that time. I also think her crusade against the Miners and Unions in general was over zealous and heartless destroying whole communities en masse. I also think her introducing the "Poll Tax" was another badly thought out and unjust law.

A good Prime Minister....maybe , a great lady....... no I think not !!!!!
