RIP Lady Thatcher.

Everybody has their faults.

She was a leader who stood firm by what she believed was right.

She was a true leader.

 

R.I.P. Baroness Thatcher.

[Mister M 1,625]

Condolences to her family and supporters.

It'd be nice to say it's an end of an era, but thanks to Blair and Cameron it isn't.

She played a part in bringing an end to the cold war, well done for that.

Thanks to her I grew up in a world where a woman could be prime minister. Even if you hate everything she did you should appreciate that.

her funeral is to be treated the same as that of the Queen Mother and Princess Di. Says a lot for the Lady.

Agree with every word in here.

I remember at the time Thatcher came to power my father worked in the Steel Industry,he was a staunch labour voter , we'd just had a three day week and the economy under callaghan was dire, I think Britain at the time was known as the 'sick man of europe'. I remember thinking how wonderful it was that a woman was now prime minister, she impressed me as having great strength of character (something sadly lacking in the politicians of today)

Yes, and- rightly- not a State Funeral.

Not sure when the funeral will be but I'll certainly be taking the day off to show my respects.

She had a few libertarian bones in her body, but a few authoritarian ones also.

 

Either way, I admire her integrity and conviction.

Yes she might have been a woman, but she certainly had balls.
