Just because she's dead it doesn't mean her legacy is over, in fact it's anything but and is growing year by year. She might be dead but her ideology lives on, and as she is to blame for instigating it, who else are we supposed to discuss and direct the hatred towards? Of course politicians and parties in existence now are part of the problem, but Thatcher started Thatcherism, no one else.

I'm not rejoicing at the fact she is dead, to me it doesn't change anything, but I can certainly understand why some who are worse off than me and lived through her time in office are celebrating. She wouldn't have cared anyway, she was hardly the most compassionate woman - someone raised a good point on Question Time last night, I think if she knew some people weren't protesting and celebrating her passing, and that she hadn't divided the nation once again, she'd be thoroughly disappointed. As for her family, they'll have had decades to prepare for this and I'm pretty sure they'll have heard pretty awful things about her in the past anyway, it comes with the territory. Right now I'm sure they are most concerned about the impending funeral and supporting one another, not internet campaigns and inevitable protests. We're talking about Margaret Thatcher, not Betty from number 2 down the road.
