I for one fully agree with you sir. Although she did pretty much cause V for Vendetta to exist. That comic is great. I bet Alan Moore is having a great day.

US President Barack Obama said the world had "lost one of the great champions of freedom and liberty" and that "America has lost a true friend".

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she would "never forget her part in surmounting the division of Europe and at the end of the Cold War".

"I believe she will go down as the greatest British peacetime prime minister." [D Cameron]

Former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair called her a "towering figure", while his successor Gordon Brown praised her "determination and resilience".

Labour leader Ed Miliband said Lady Thatcher had been a "unique figure" who "reshaped the politics of a whole generation".

She was about 6 inches from being a complete and utter facist. Make a movie about her and it all gets white washed away. A great deal of free thinking "liberals" were shaking in their boots for an entire decade. Section 28 saw the rights of homosexuals set back for decades. Breaking up labor unions for the simple act of collectively bargaining (Wisconsin is using the tactics now). Shooting to Kill members of the "United Kingdom" in a war with the IRA. People who actually fought against their country for independence. The same reason most people don't want their assault rifle with 300 rounds of ammo to be restricted by the government in the USA. Then restricting television reporting about the issue. Sad thing is if anybody else was running the party during that time things would have been a great deal worse for left leaning people.

Bully for her on her Foreign work however. Worked well with the US and Saved the Faulkland's from Argentinian Invasion. Also worked with Gorbachev when Russia started to crumble under communism.

Overall i call it a negative, but I'm neither rich nor british in the 80s.

She's not dead, she was banned for RMT.

Yeah mixed feelings here though, she made the rich a lot richer...and the poor/working-class folks had their communities destroyed.

She was like marmite...people either loved her or hated her. Either way, everyone agrees that she's dead.

The way I feel about her is a bit like the way I feel about Reagan... nauseous and angry.

Oddly enough my old man is a Reagan-loving fiscal conservative who also happens to be a banking executive.
