It goes to Grantham
I am sure if someone wants to Smash her head off
they will go to her home town.


And maybe film it.

[Livia]

Put it up in London and stop pandering to people's threats. If someone vandalises it, arrest them.

I bet if people were asked and they answered truthfully, not as many people have a problem with it. It's the noisy minority willing to smash down what it doesn't agree with.

Not particularly, no. But she was the first female PM and had bigger balls than any of the men in her cabinet. We have a statue of Oliver Cromwell outside Parliament that no Irish people seem to have complained about .

Watched that film, more on that later! x

I'm not complaining about any of your statues? I just asked a question.

So no, I don't agree with loads of the stuff she did, but I wouldn't call myself a supporter. I mention Oliver Cromwell just to show we have statues of all kinds of odious people, I can't believe Thatcher was the worst of the lot.

Grantham's gain

what a lovely statue to a great PM

[Kazanne]

It should go up in London,she was the first woman PM and did a lot of good aswell as stuff some don't agree with,but every statue ever erected will have someone who was never perfect, people need to stop being so faux upset about everything,it wont ruin anyones life if her statue is there,she deserves it as much as anyone, and if the immature in society want to vandalise it that says so much more about them,Maggie was trail blazer and she should be remembered as such, as Livia said she had bigger balls than any man that's been in power.

You and I would have some ding dongs on politics Kazanne.
However that's what makes politics interesting to debate.

You're an adorable member and we agree on much more important topics.

I rated Margaret Thatcher for her strength .she looked the statesperson all through.
She never took a sledgehammer to the most vulnerable sick and disabled.
She came to power when the UK was near ungovernable.
The Unions far too extreme, even against Labour their own Party in government.

No government or PM does all right or wrong.
What she did was make the UK look strong and she always fought determinedly the UKs corner.

She made bad decisions too of course but she must go down as one of the most formidable leaders ever, a strong PM and her debating skills were second to none.

I like that kind of friendship Joey where we can have totally opposite opinions but still know we are friends even though it gets heated sometimes and I agree whatever you thought of Thatcher she was a one off and very strong PM.

Who asked for perfection?

[AnnieK]

Like or hate her - Thatcher (as Livia said) had balls. She made decisions and pretty much stood by them - far more than the shower of politicians we have now.

Bit like Trump then

[Cherie]

Whatever her legacy, as the first female Prime Minister her statue should be in Westminster and Grantham

Burn it! Like the witch she is!

Thatcher was one of the best prime ministers ever, and a woman, hence why she got a state funeral. Not everyone agreed with her for sure, but she single handedly brought this country back from general strikes. Yes, she went too far, thats always the way in these things, but no-one has deserved a statue more than her in my life time.
