The last PM we had with any backbone , i just hope there is respect shown to the news of her death, despite people having personal dislike of her.

I don't think many working people will be shedding any tears.

always sad when someone dies.

Best leader this country has ever had? I totally disagree. Absolutely terrible and has a lot to answer for.

Maybe now the truth will come out

Yes so great her own kicked her out.

Conducted a war for political reasons only. Not the only one I admit.

Distroyed the mining industry and unions for spite for payback for 1974 election

Like the present government she was trying to sort the absolute shambles out that had preceded her I was a student at the time and hated her rhetoric but now a little wiser around the gills I appreciate much of what she did had to happen to save the country from the idiotic left !!

Been saying the years. Politics in this country doesn't work. Being left or right wing is just stupid. That's whats lead to all the problems we have.

No matter your political persuasion, you have to hand it to her. She was a tour de force and achieved more than she ever got wrong.
RIP Iron lady. One of the best.

I wont take pleasure and dance for joy that anyone has done, I will however rejoice when the views and policies she had and implemented are eradicated. She allowed her fat cat friends to get richer off the back of the working classes and is the reason many of the Northern Shitholes we visit are quite so shitty.

She destroyed the lower working class by pushing them too far. Labour then replaced that gap quickly with cheap foreign workers. So they're both as bad as each other to be honest, only Thatcher and her crooks were the start of the problem so...

David Cameron has just written a personal letter to the Thatcher residence.

It starts "I regret to inform you that, due to recent events, you now have too many bedrooms...."

I certainly won't mourn her, I had her to be first to go in 2013 in our "who's going to snuff it next" sweepstake at work. She cost me £30!!

As strong as Churchill even through he has been described as being a wanker by some.

She was swept to power by the inadequacies of the then Labour Party and the likes of Michael Foot's CND stance etc. She also captured the heart of young people and slightly older by privatising government utilities. The 1970's was embroiled in political turmoil where the unions were too strong (And at the same time were used by companies....For example: strikes at BL were often instigated by the companies through antaganism of the unions and thus meant that people would not be paid). She took on the miners and ruined the fabric of a tight knit community that has never been the same since.

Ahh yes, the POLL TAX. That was controversial as well.

She was also swept back in to power through taking on the Argies in 82.....Just what she needed when she was odds on to lose the next election.


I was swept along by all of this as a young aspirational person and voted conservative. There was no alternative in 79......Then I voted labour because I felt that the cons had gone too far. Little did I know that the country would change again with the influx of Europeans and anyone who could forge a passport.

I am unlikely to vote conservative again but Labour have a leader who is not credible even through the cons are unpopular.

Absolutely brilliant!!!

Sooooooo... I'm not sure how I feel about this other than to say, her timing is absolutely perfect. She willfully waited until Cameron, Osbourne and co had put themselves in a position to become viewed as even more evil than her. Her regime merely served as evidence that mainstream capitalism does not work. Her blinkered 2D view on the world devastated this country.

Vote for neither. There are better and more deserving parties out there that deserve a chance.

One of the most amazing and inspiring women in history. I find it incredibaly rude and disrespectful that some people are rejoycing over her death. They should be ashamed of themselves

Nobody has left a poorer legacy on this country than the Blairs and Browns who crowed and preached Socialism while lining their pockets on human rights bullshit and pivate consultancy deals and all the while handing 96% of created jobs in 13 years to foreigners whilst the indiginous idle were allowed to claim benefits to their hearts content leaving the nations finances in the toilet.

A great leader. She sorted the Argies out and stood up to the militant unions. How many times do you hear of factories going on strike these days? They were always doing it at the drop of a hat before she came along. Best PM since Churchill! RIP Maggie! x x
