The news of the Baroness Thatcher's death has also drawn reactions from some of her critics.

Former London mayor Ken Livingstone told Sky News:

She created today's housing crisis, she produced the banking crisis, she created the benefits crisis ... Every real problem we face today is the legacy of the fact she was fundamentally wrong.

– KEN LIVINGSTONE ON SKY NEWS

Paul Kenny, general secretary of the GMB trade union, said:

Her legacy involves the destruction of communities, the elevation of personal greed over social values and legitimising the exploitation of the weak by the strong.

– Paul Kenny, general secretary, GMB union
Lindsey German, convenor of the Stop The War Coalition, said:

She led alongside Ronald Reagan the escalation of the Cold War. She introduced cruise missiles to Britain and fought the Falklands war.

Her arms deals with Saudi Arabia were notorious. Her legacy was Tony Blair who built enthusiastically on her record.

– Lindsey German, Stop The War Coalition

Bit in bold is an extremely good point - and it irritates me that fervent Labour supporters often overlook this fact, just as much as it irritates me that Conservative supporters try and accuse Blair of ruining her legacy. He did the exact opposite, he furthered her abominable policies, they're as bad as each other in that respect.

And you are wrong
as she helped the Working class get rich.
How you miss that - I will never understand.

Maybe you are to young

I do not need to watch the news Arista. I know only to well what she did to working class communties mainly here in Scotland and the North of England, communities that have never recovered. She did not help anyone get rich, apart from the already affluent, she did create poverty, misery and unemployment. How you don't get that, Iwill never understand.

Maybe you are too stupid

Multi-millionaire Blair makes me want to

Her career had it's pros and cons and I despised her politics but I respected her as a person.

Kizzy · 08-04-2013, 07:12 PM

The only reason Thatcher sold off the housing stock was she was well aware that most of it was substandard, steel framed, prefabricated, jerry built cardboard boxes that would cost more money to maintain than they were worth.

joeysteele · 08-04-2013, 07:13 PM

.... and as to this supposed great leader and PM, how did her premiership end again?
Not with any election defeat, not with her going at a time of her choosing, not because of ill health.not because her Family wanted her to and definitely not because she herself even wanted to give up but because her party plotted against her and then stabbed her in the back while she was fighting the UKs corner in Europe.

Cowards then and cowards now. Then look who they replaced her with, John Major??.

I certainly wouldn't have been a supporter of hers had I been born and a voter then but what a despicable party to end her time as PM and leader like that.
Now just listen to all the ramblings of those who destroyed her are saying now, hypocrites like Geoffrey Howe who near humiliated her in a speech in parliament for one and near started the plotting against her.

What a shower.

Steve Nallon on Ch4 just now

My thoughts are with her family. But she royally screwed over both of my grandfathers(both were miners in the north east) so I'm not sad at all that shes gone tbh.

Well said yet again Joey,she wasn't perfect but boy she stood by what she believed in and what she thought was right.and those Judas's who stabbed her in the back should **** and let her R.I.P,Our family wasn't suppoters either,I was too young to bother either way,but I could see she was different as I grew up.
