All of her detractors, i'd like to ask you, do you think she made her decisions wanting to harm to your country? or do you think she made decisions based on what she believed would be best for the UK?
I don't believe for a second that she ever wished any harm on the UK or it's people. She did her best under extremely difficult circumstances.
She made decisions based on what she believed at the time were the best decisions for your country.
She wasn't APPOINTED like the house of lords, or BORN INTO IT like the royals.
She was ELECTED.

What leader makes decisions that they feel will harm their country. Surely your statement could be applied to President Bush or Herbert Hoover.
Her death will have no effect on her influence or ideas, so I see no point in doing anything but offering condolences to her friends and family but that doesn't change the fact that some groups will always feel negatively about her because of her policies
