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

The world is a better place.

SSL2012 08-04-2013 11:57 AM

The worst pm..

Rip however, dont wish her ill.

Suze 08-04-2013 12:00 PM

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.

Nedusa 08-04-2013 12:01 PM

A great Prime Minister........ her brilliance was on a par with George W Bush's...

She made some great and not very great choices, but R.I.P to this bold, brash lady

No far better than Bush

Yes From a Corner Shop
she changed the UK (not the way JHC wanted)
and Won the Falkands War.

Jesus. 08-04-2013 12:05 PM

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

Kizzy 08-04-2013 12:08 PM

Yes her policies are being used today... and aren't we all having a jolly time?...

GiRTh 08-04-2013 12:09 PM

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 !!!!!
