    true but she didn't have to put up with the court of criminal rights and the EU as much as the Gov has to these days

    You may be right joe, but I would hope no reasonable person would seriously celebrate the death of such a person

    Yes indeed, a very sad day.

    We're still waiting for another leader of her calibre to restore this country to sanity.

    RIP to a true Brit .

    i think you might have underestimated the feeling some people have about her, i think she divided the country.

    i remember her as 'thatcher the milk snatcher' and the pic of her inside the tank

    yes she had balls, i'll give her that, but many will not miss her ..

    RIP Iron Lady.

    One she made up her mind about something she never changed it whether it was right or wrong.

    Think she was against the European union?

    Yes, I'm sure that's true.
    It's never easy for me as a person to understand extremism like that

    Wait for the eulogies from around the world to see how much she was respected, and how she helped influence so many positive world events.

    People forget that Britain was dubbed the 'Poor man of Europe' not long before she came along and sorted the country out, while also reviving world respect for our country.

    Douglas Hurd (Ex-British Conservative Foreign Secretary)....

    ' In or around the year 1978 I visited the biggest single employer in my constituency who manufactured aircraft parts on the hill above Witney.
    I was new to the job and asked the management naively how they were getting on with their business plan. They looked at me with pity. "We have no business plan," they replied. "We do our best to find out the mood of the shop stewards at Cowley and then calculate as best we can how many cars we think they will allow to be produced next week and next month."

    That was the Britain which Margaret Thatcher took over in 1979.'

    I see Ken Livingstone has just been on Sky blaming Thatcher for the housing problems today? ... maybe he should blame the state of the roads on the Romans as well

    Standard labourite practice - go back into history and blame the Tories, something I've raised many times on this forum

    As Mrs Thatcher once said (and it is generally accepted that she was probably referring to Willie Whitelaw)...

    "All Prime Ministers should have a Willie."

    Down the hole. The only ones who liked her are the ones that benefitied from her. And there is a awful lot that didnt. Our industry has never recovered since she was in power.Down the hole.
